      Sheep manure is the best, then cow manure.  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.
