for centuries, gardeners have been asking which is better for the garden. I just want to get a definitive answer before I go spending valuable money on something that might not work properly.

My dad planted a small vegetable garden in his back yard (40 ft x 80 ft). He had someone deliver and dump a load of horse manure in it every autum. He'd then till it and forget it until the following spring.

tis my opinion using horse, cow or sheep manure, it is best to soak in water in 44 gal drum, or plastic be better, apply as liquid manure after its soaked for a few weeks otherwise you gunner increase your weed population.
Horse manure bound to grow lots of dock and thistles, cows thistle and numinous other weeds, sheep likewise with few other chucked in...

Good liquid manure like Maxi-crop plus fish manure and or worm castings, perhaps best of all be good compost full of live worms.

Cow manure is better, horses don't break down the material as well. Horse apples can stay in the pasture for months.
If its green manure keep the water on it...soaker hose.
The best strawberry patch found was growing in an old swine lot.

You may get more acid in Cow manure, we use goat manure mixed with cow manure and make a slurry then it is sprayed from a high pressure unit attached to our 20,000 litre tank, better also to find out the ph in your soil too and what your plants like to grow in.

for decoration.
