I have heard several people talk about not using horse manure with sawdust in their patch, but I haven't heard how it affects the soil.
I have the opportunity to get quite a bit of manure, but it does have sawdust in it. This will be the second year I have been ammending the soil and I still need as much manure as I can get. I have been able to get some manure without sawdust, but I am trying to decide if I should put in the manure with sawdust.
Comments please?

I used it this year along with manure with staw in it. I didn't have any problem with it. One of the downfalls with the sawdust is that it uses up some of the nitro and takes a little longer to break down. I think I read that you have to watch your salinity when adding a lot of horse manure.

I'd compost it all winter and spread it in the spring. That should be fine.
