im sure ive seen it … im sure ive seen it used for fuel on some documentary’s ,i tried some but it didn,t work to great ,anyone used it as a fuel (for a fire place or pot belly) does it have to be dry ,it would save me buying so much wood ?
once or twice, we … once or twice, we have horses of our own (12), and my dad put horse manure all over the front lawn after a hurricane hit and the trees (50-100 ft. fichus trees) fell (we buried them) and grass wasn’t growing, so then after we poured it with the bobcat, it worked after 1 week we saw grass.
My Father-In-Law … My Father-In-Law says horse and cow manure has too much salt in it–something about how they have to constantly eat salt (salt licks) because they can’t store it–has anyone else heard of this?
