Thought most dont like using horse manure because of all the weed seeds it carries?

If it’s been composted long enough it works pretty good. If the pile is big enough the heat cooks the seeds as well as the harmful bacteria. ah ok. I just remembered hearing someone once fussing about putting out manure that was supposed to have been cow but turned out to be horse barn cleanings and all the new weeds and such that sprouted up on his once pristine weed free fields he had worked on for years to get that way.

If you're using it in a garden, I'd recommend the manure IF you can make 100% certain that the animals that produced the manure didn't graze on grass or eat hay that was sprayed with Grazon
You won't have a garden for a year or two if they did. Been there, done that.

Buy a spreader truck load of chicken litter. I spread it 6" deep on my parents garden about 10 years ago. I spread it in the fall and let it set all winter and spring. They had squash vines the size of a VW beetle that next year. Seriously.

What about Cotton Burr Compost? Anyone ever used any of it? I saw some late last summer at a seed/feed store. I've been reading a little on it. I'm thinking about putting some on my small garden prior to tilling it this spring. I get mine from the cotton gin. It works good, but there is some kind of thorny plant that grows out of it

Thanks GH. I may rethink putting it out. It really helped my squash and maters. Just had to pull those thorny things early or they will stick you good.
