Manure problem
Past a farm today and FREE bags of manure outside horse field so look inside and looks ok. Lumps of horse poo and looks ok so being me I get 4 in car. Unload at home and think I riddle them straight away with my big riddle. 1inch square mesh. Start ok then loads of saw dust/ wood chips. So I gave up riddling after 1 bag and just dumped the rest on a bed.
Whats best to do.?
Any answers.
Doi just rebag and leave a year to rot.
Spread it out ?

I would re bag as you suggested already or stack and cover for now. But if you have already laid it on a bed I would dig it in a bit. might not be worth trying to bag it. I would not plant anything in it until it weathered a bit at least, it might burn if you were planning on putting in young plants or seeds. If it is a bed that will be left for a while not sure how long though.
If it is free get more and stack or bag, better if it is well mixed with the bedding if it is in there.
My idea was to riddle into smaller pieces. Mix with compost. Rebag. They maybe use as a mulch. Or put a inch in bottom of my potato bucket later on

We pay £1.00 a bag, but it’s too heavy for me to lift, OH gets it on his lorry.
Have to say, I have never riddled or sieved any compost.
Were back to recycling plastic again ♻ 😉
