Only on a horse forum can we discuss poo sculpting...
So the time of year has come and the farmer has removed our muck heap - so before it gets out of control I want to establish how it'll 'grow'.
Background - it's out the back of the barn, on earth not concrete, backs into a field/hedge, no sides. So it's a bit freestyle. Gets taken away once a year, used by about 15 stables with a mix of straw, pellet and shaving beds. The main issue is it just spreads a bit too much!
Last year OH tried to establish a quarry system (pushing barrows up and round to the top) but wasn't very successful as a) impossible when wet to push barrows up, and b) looked messy around the edges and still spread outwards.
Any suggestions for neatness? Just in arrangement - I'm not going to start building walls, concrete etc.
space wise it has a footprint of up to about 2/3 stables wide ( so 36 feet?) and probably 20ft deep.
Pictures would be very welcome! Or just sculpting ideas. Need to get liveries doing it properly straight away before it gets out of control...
