Animal Manure and Gardening

MANURE--ANIMAL

Notes:

Goat manure: extremely mild smelling

Horse manure: may contain many weed seeds from hay

Pig manure: breaks down slowly

Turkey manure: feces usually contain urine since both are excreted together

Worm manure: excellent soil conditioner and propagation.

MANURE--CATS AND DOGS

Cat and dog manure should not be used on a garden or in a compost pile due to the fact that the feces can contain disease and parasitic organisms that can cause toxic plasmosis. Dispose of cat and dog wastes through proper sanitary methods.
