Cow Manure

    Hi Guys,

    Im hoping someone here can give me some advice.

    My uncle has a farm which means a free source of manure! But I have a question, what constitutes well rotted manure?

    I was asking him about getting some recently and he told me what shed to get it from whenever I was down that direction next. The thing is, the shed is currently in use which would indicate that the manure is fresh.

    My question is this, if I was to get some bags off him, what is the best way to rot it down over the next few months so that its ready to put over the veg garden once everything is out?

    Cheers!

    Just pile it up and cover it with a tarp. If you put in on or in your soil in autumn it should be rooted enough next spring to grow on.

    Aw cool, so all I will have to do is leave it then? Presumably it will be ok to put into those plastic fertiliser bags?

    Cheers!

    Yes and yes.

    When it's well rotted, there will be no (or little) straw or bedding material visible, it will not be yellow and it will not smell of cow dung.
