Mucking Out

MUCKING OUT

If you want to sell horse muck as fertiliser for gardening by bagging it up, it is best to be organised. In the absence of a three-walled bay to house the muck, any wall that you can comfortably lean the muck pile against helps keep it in one place.

If the area where you keep the muck has a wet floor at any time, putting planks or even some form of path down to wheel a wheelbarrow on will help keep the surrounding area as clean and dry as possible.

Look after any equipment you use for mucking out. Keep it as dry as possible when not in use and clean it up if at all possible from time to time, to prevent it rotting and costing money to replace.

You can save yourself some time and money by using the side of your foot to help muck out. Expensive brooms are not always necessary.

Always muck your trailer out thoroughly as the muck contains moisture and will actively rot any wooden flooring in the trailer, even in small dried amounts, over time.
