Garden Manure


Every year Steve and I work on our garden. However it has to be cost efficient. My sister found this info on free manure. Just an FYI if you are planning on a garden this year and don't have much money to put into it.

Free Fertilizer Offer from BLM Horse Center

Contact: BLM Salt Lake Regional Horse Center, 801-561-4632

The Salt Lake Regional Horse Center managed by the BLM is offering free wild horse manure to the public, nurseries, parks or neighborhood gardens. It's Free! They just ask you call ahead to make sure someone is there to load it into your truck.

Horse manure, when composted, contains valuable fertilizer elements like carbon and nitrogen. Some manure stockpiles have been sitting for over a year, shrunken from decomposition and moisture loss. Wild horses and burros managed at the center are fed certified weed free hay. *You still will get weeds. My mom used it and the manure was not weed free. Maybe it cuts down on the amount of weeds but there are still weeds.**

The Salt Lake Regional Horse Center is located at 8605 West Butterfield Canyon Road (126000 South) Herriman, Utah, the horse center is open to the public Monday-Friday 9:00am-3:00pm. Staff will assist in loading manure.

For more information contact the BLM Wild Horse and Burro Center, 801-561-4632.
