Tips for horse manure
Hi all,
A good friend who, unbeknown to me had a small livery yard, invited me round to get some horse manure today as I am increasingly a 'no dig' gardener and want access to as much free mulch as I can!!
However, for the last 5 years it has just sat in a bin and so doesn't have the nice crumbly feel with mixed in bedding etc. It doesn't smell at all, so I'm guessing is well rotted down, but is quite gloopy and homogenous. Any thoughts on the best thing to do? Can I use it as it is?

I'd lay a nice thick layer on the surface now and let the frost and worms work on it over the winter.
