Can anybody tell me if pig poo is anygood for the veg patch?

[HappyHippy]

It's the best of stuff  But I'd let it rot down for a while or add it to your compost heap rather than chucking it on 'fresh'

I had a friend come round and "pick piggy poo" off my land specifically for the use!  She apparently puts it in water and mixes to a sludge(yuk! - smelly!) then puts it on top of her compost.  I am going to give it a go this year.

was just wondering the same about goat poo. while cleaning the shed out!! if i were to dilute that do you think it could go on the veg patch?

Last time I was at Cotswold Pigs now long extinct I believe.They used to store it as a slurry then spray it on the land.You could smell it miles away but it was a good fertilizer they had no trouble getting rid

This might be something I can answer next year!!
I've dug pig poo into a section in my veggie patch this year. It was well rotted (8 months old) and didn't smell at all. It was more soil like than other stuff I've used and easier to dig in. I've tried pig, chicken, horse and big patch of cow on different sections this year....just have to wait and see......

Now that idea I like so long as say you planted some potatoes some carrots some beans and peas in each plot then you would be able to see which manure suited which veg best on your site.This of course is only for your site mine might be very chalky if I lived at Caistor or silt if I lived down against Sheila Still a good idea though.On big sites its not the manure thats the problem its the shavings and straw etc; that needs to rot a bit before it will plough in properly.Pig slurry is ploughed in straight away.DEFRA made an order regarding spread manures on fields being ploughed in.Them cannot stand the smell you know

The smell of the country 

We had some people in the holiday cottage a couple of weeks ago that asked if I could do something about the smell coming from the dairy farm opposite, and also they didn't appreciate being woken up by the birds far too early....didn't I realise they were on holiday!!! lol

They turned out to be very nice guests after a few days of relaxation and ended up by the week laughing about what they had expected.
