Re: [RC] [RC] removing manure from paddocks serious business! - heidi

Someone move to my neighborhood! I won't complain, heck, you'll even have someone to ride with. And I border Weyerhauser land, 4 miles from Rock Creek Campground (horse camp) and less than 1 hour from Kalama Horse Camp (base of rumbling Mt. St. Helens) neighbors are selling!! Manuf. home on 5 pasture acres for $170K.  I want horsey neighbors!!!!

>> THERE JUST HAS TO BE AN EASIER WAY to MOVE THIS MANUREand HORSEY STUFF? <<

I wish I had an answer for you. I certainly feel your pain!

I clean 8 stalls a day. Where we are the manure is placed in a
bin and picked up by waste management. Now, picture this: I'm
5'2" and a featherweight, and this bin is a full-sized trash
dumpster about 4' tall. I put the manure into muck buckets (the
70 quart size) and cart them around in a two-wheeled wheel barrow
thingy. So, then I have to LIFT the muck buckets to dump them
into the bin. By hand. Daily. For 8 horses' worth of manure
& bedding. It's not a pretty picture. Especially in wet
weather...

Oh, and I seriously feel your pain about "city folks" moving into
your neighborhood and whining about the horses and other critters.
It's happening everywhere. :(
