How To Compost Pig Manure

Question

I read your instructions how to compost pig manure. When your get to the part to cover the pile for winter to let it finish cooking before the snow falls, does it really decompose any in the dead of winter? I live in MN our winters are long and cold snd I want to make sure it is for sure safe to use in the spring. Thank you!

Answer 1

Do not use the pig manure in your compost pile or the vegetable garden. Compost your pig manure separately and use it on gardens that are not edible. Here is more information on the subject:
