Using sour manure in compost

CosmicLion · 03-11-09, 11:15

Hello Topia!! There is some aged horse manure that has been in a garbage bag outside for over a year and smells heavily of classic souring. I was wondering, should it be good to use for mycology after it is mixed with other goods then ran through a composter with activator?

I would think the composting then pasteurization process would kill all unwanted bacteria but I thought I would check with some pros before I went against my instinct and used sour smelling materials.

Thanks for any advice!

spread it out and dry it in the sun if you can a few days first

Sounds like a plan...

Here on the coast the skies are usually gray but the grass is always green!

Hopefully can catch one of the 12 hour sunstorms before the usual winter overcast, mist and fog settle back in.

Thanks Hip!
