There are all kinds of fancy composting machines out there and you could spend hundreds of dollars on “cooking” you manure. Or you could just do it like we do. We might waste a little but hey, around here manure is something we have plenty of. We simply pile it up in heaps. When the barn is cleaned out or the stallions pens are cleaned out it is piled in one corner of the garden. It is best to layer manure then leaves or grass clippings or whatever. If you have rabbit manure or chicken droppings and those are probably both mixed with some sort of bedding also, it is best to layer with the horse manure. Your compost pile should be away from any buildings. It will actually cook, heat up, and could spontaneously combust.
