Fresh sheep shit.

[pope francis V]

Would fresh sheep shit make a good base for a soil mix?.

 

Or even to fill a raised garden bed?????.

Yes but it needs to be well aged not fresh.if its fresh it will make your soil mix to hot and burn your plants

Would a month or so be old enough?

 

How long are we talking [emoji14]

So digging it in and leaving it for next season would be ideal?

Id be ageing it for 4 to six months at least before using it

Fresh? No, the acids in it are way too hot.

We used to use it on an outdoor garden but it was left outside in the weather (to leach the acids out) for at least 12mths.

You can age it quick by spreading it out on a concrete surface ...the ageing process is in the drying or curing ....101 curing good shit .

 

Full sun spread thinly ,wait for colour change ,you have to evaporate the moisture out of it ,once thats done its fine ,you can do it over a few days/week...water it then spread it .. .when temps are high ,

Just put it on the drip line

I would definitely use a test plant first in any manure/soil mix that has only been aged a week just to check its not to hot first, aslo have a look into making a sheep manure tea,manure teas or brews as i call it are one of the best things any gardener can make for there plants almost all plants love it

Hey GQ what do you reckon would be an appropriate test subject for that? Something quick growing and cheap, with similar necessities to cannabis yeah?

[greenqueen2]

Tomatoe or canna both have the same requirements or very similar at least but any fast growing vegie will give a good indication of a hot mix very fast if its to hot it will burn and yellow
