Topic: Sheep Dung

[kippers garden]

My friend has offered me free bags of sheep dung and horse manure.  I know I can use horse manure but what about sheep dung?

Has anybody used this before?

Can't see why not.
Lucky you ;D ;D

sheep dung makes brilliant liquid fertilizer put it in a Hessian sack and suspend from a stick across a water barrel and use to water anything. my granny used to swear by it

Ditto that. I used to spend hours collecting it to hang in a water butt. Best thing is to first scold it with a kettle of water to kill the buggies.

Do i make the fertiliser after it has rotted down or can i use it straight the way?

[Merry Tiller]

Use it as fresh as you like

Most women talk about hair and nails...here's me with just manure and sheep dung on my mind...but i'd rather be me than anyone else!  I love my lotty!

Thanks for all your advice.

Just like horse and cow poo, sheep dung is mostly processed grass and other vegetable matter. Food for the garden !
