Title: Sheep Dung
Post by: kippers garden on May 07, 2006, 09:57:21
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?

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.

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