It smells really bad, but at the same time it is really good for your garden. We have already covered how to compost chicken manure as well as how to cure horse manure in earlier posts on this blog. Surprisingly enough, it took us this long to look at how to cure cow manure, which is more readily available.
They are many benefits to using manure in your garden. Often gardeners, tend to just use compost and thing that is enough. However, you should also mix in some manure into the soil to really give your plants that boost they need. It doesn’t have to be cow manure, you can use rabbit or goat manure which usually is easier to use. Always make sure you know how old the cow manure is before you start the curing process.
