Fresh manures can be added to a compost pile, or left (covered to keep out flies) for a month or two until relatively odourless and ready to use. Fresh manures can contain excessive nitrates which can 'burn' some sensitive plants, and will also have a very high pH.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAnimal manures are a great way of adding nitrogen to soil, and organic matter, and help stimulate microbial activity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003ewhich manure is best?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca id=\"bestmanure\" name=\"bestmanure\"\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eQuite frankly, any manure is going to help improve soil - however, different poos do different things. the richest manure (in terms of range of nutrients) is actually pigeon poop! Chicken and other poultry manure also packs a pretty good punch - but bird poo contains hardly any organic matter.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn contrast, horse and cow and sheep manure is lower in nutrients, but is much higher in organic material - which is really useful to improve soil.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSome gardeners may swear by sheep poo for this and cow poo for that - and never the twain shall mix! In our experience, variety is the spice of life and - like us - your soil benefits from a varied diet.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eManure can be used (once it is aged) distributed on top of garden beds or dug through the soil.
