Stable Manure Tips From Massachusetts Station Bulletin
From Bulletin 58 of the Massachusetts Experiment Station comes guidance on stable manure. Half-rotted manure is most valuable for nitrate content, while well rotted is least. Keep manure packed from air and plow under just before planting if rotted, or months before otherwise. More litter increases nitrogen loss. bedding free of decomposable matter protects nitrogen. Immediate land application yields the best value, with reduced nitrogen loss.
