i am trying something new as far as fertilizing my food plots/pasture.

i have a horse that poops alot[in the stall]but i have no manure spreader. sooooo......i'm forking the manure into a 55 gal. barrel,filling half full and adding water to the top. let it simmer for a few days and dip the liquid manure out with a small bucket,pour through a strainer into my atv mounted boom sprayer and take off spraying ! seems to be working and its not messy if your careful i just add more water to the barrel each time i use out of it. i'm getting quite a few gallons before i have to empty the barrel and add more manure. only time will tell if its working.i'll try to take some pics of sprayed vs. unsprayed areas.

Interesting. Do let us know how it turns out, however I do think I will stick to the old 13-13-13.[8D]

That sounds likea cleveridea, I am also interested to see how it turns out.

Here's a thought. Try putting the Horse manure in a feed sack, then place it in the water and let it soak. Sorta like a tea bag effect. I do something similar with compost, and make a compost tea. Then drench the plants with the nutrient laden water. Its best to lift the bag out from time to time to extract more nutrients. A burlap feed sack works best, but a plastic woven type will work. That will help eliminate strainer process.

I've always been told horse manure is what you want to add to your compost pile. After the process, then it becomes something great for plants.
