I've been trying to find a donkey or burro or mule for about a year now... Used to be, you'd find folks giving them away, but not now...

Donkeys are selling for $1k - $4k now, Pffft! Folks must be thinking of them as "alternative transportation."

I really need a little "manure factory" for my Victory Garden, LOL.

Meanwhile, until that happens, I'll be visiting my neighbor down the road to shovel out their barn for composting & pick meadow muffins out of their pastures for immediate use.

Goat berries tend to scatter out; chicken takes a while to build up; pig manure has to be composted for over a year...

A llama as a livestock guardian may be the best choice; llamas always put their poop in the same place each day, usually next to a gate. It doesn't burn plants, so that may be an option...

Horses and Donkeys do the same, not all the time but generally they have certain places in the field they go to poop cause they dont want to eat the grass there.

All the horses I've ever raised were of the club that preferred to spread it far & wide, without regard... But I guess the bigger space they have, the less worried they get about contaminating it.

Most folks I know with horses have a set of old bedsprings that they hitch to the pickup & drive the pasture with to scatter it. Once scattered, the horses aren't bothered by it...

I'm eaten up with shit covet now every time I pass a place with visible horse piles, LOL.

WAY too focused on excrement these days.

Bingo!

This is why a lot of homesteaders don't make it... They buy a place with green everywhere & then discover it was all fertilizer... and don't know how to restore the soil.

If you don't have an active & thriving variety of microbial buddies in there, your soil is in trouble.

I don't fertilize; I feed my "microherd."

Yep! And the reason nature always fills any place up with the local species to maximum capacity that species can be supported. Delete the buffalo in the US and the west turned to desert dramatically. I know the Indians groomed the herds...but the same happened here.

Bingo!

And some areas were never intended for cultivation, like the Texas Panhandle & parts of the Oklahoma Panhandle...

Six inches of topsoil, then caliche in so many areas...

It can grow the most beautiful & nutritious prairie grasses imaginable, but it sucks as farmland...

Hence, the Dust Bowl of the 1930s. So much of Texas & Oklahoma ended up in New York City.
