Hello All!!!

I have been adding compost, shredded leaves and composted horse manure to my garden for the last 5 of the 7 years that I have been living here It has been a garden area for the last 30 years or so. Now the question.

How much composted horse manure can I add every year? My garden is about 45x100 appx,kinda raised in 3 levels. I have 2 nice size compost bins going and starting my third one. They are about 4 X 12 and 4 x 16 or so made with wooden pallets. Most of the compost bins are full of horse manure, green grass and some straw. I do turn the pile when I can. Can there be to much composted horse manure in the garden? My Dad says yes and my plants will just grow crazy fast next year. What do you think? Thanks fespo
