Hallo hallo!~ I started working at an animal sanctuary as a volunteer, and most of the time my job is to shovel out and clean the horse stalls. I noticed that the area for the horse crap was getting pretty filled up, so I'm wondering if there's anything horse dung could actually be used for. At the moment the only idea that comes to my mind is plant fertilizer, or someplace for chickens to dig around in. xd Any ideas?

At my first stable, my coach would collect, bag, and sell the poop as plant fertilizer. Use a grain bag. They hold poop good. :3

The stable I go to grows some of their own hay, so they use the manure to spread on the fields, and give some away as fertilizer.

When dried, it makes great fodder for fire. wink

You can get the animal shelter to sell it commercially for fertiliser, it can be a good way to get funds (I know there's some company that clears all the stuff mucked out of stalls at our equestrian centre twice a week just for that purpose) but if you're wanting to use it on your garden let it rot for a few months after it's been dropped into the stall - it's really concentrated and if you don't let it degrade a bit, the over-concentration of nutrients will kill the plants. sweatdrop
