I am continually finding new uses for by-products such as bedding, manure, and waste fiber, which stimulates my brain.
Manure combined with straw makes an effective mulch, but its decomposition rate is slow.
I attempted to grind the damp bedding material removed from our stalls, which resulted in the grinder binding due to excessive moisture. I am now drying the mixture of manure, sawdust, wood pellets, and hay.
Once dried, I plan to retry grinding it, hoping it will make a valuable soil additive for mulching and fertilizing purposes, similar to wool pellets but derived from waste bedding material.
