We need our poo. We use our muck on the heap to spread across our organic pasture. It is good to input the manure back to the land as it is a natural fertilizer. The picture you see here of the muck heap is the amount of used bedding and manure from both the stables and the fields that is generated in just 8 months by seven horses. The reason there is a picture of a single decker bus is because that is exactly the same amount of poo it would take to fill this lovely old bus that has been restored by the Aycliffe & District Bus Preservation Society.
So the maths are simple. 14 horses - you would fill a double decker and so on. Well done to the society on preserving the bus. On an organic pasture you can't add nitrogen to zing up the growth and make everything green you have to use organic matter. This is because it is better for the planet. Your horse feeds at one end and provides the manure at the other. Very clever. It has to compost down well though otherwise you burn your pasture. So it is far more environmentally friendly than the old bus. Maybe we should start a pasture preservation society. Just a thought.
