The worst is horse manure because it takes some necessary nutrients out of the soil while it adds others. The main thing to remember is not to use fresh manure. It decays too rapidly and takes nitrogen out of the soil. Use manure that has been laying around a while to avoid this. I recommend a trip to the local library to check out a good book on composting. It will recommend what else to add with each kind of manure to achieve the desired results.
