Free Horse Manure for Composting in Ozaukee County

16 years ago

Hello All,

Sorry if this has been addressed recently, but I moved to the area a couple of months ago from Atlanta, GA and am wondering about sources of free horse manure in/around Mequon/Thiensville (15 miles north of downtown Milwaukee). I'd like to start collecting for a building a compost pile for my summer vegetable garden soil amendments.

Thanks,

AnDrew

I can't say specifically about Mequon, but when I started composting 20 some years ago I just checked the Yellow Pages for horse stables and picked the nearest ones.

Hi Drewl,

Look on craigslist.org the Madison area craigslist seems to have an ad a week for free manure.
