Manure and bulbs: was Re: amarcrinum

I think the whole difference is that in modern times horse breeders and
owners use wood shavings for bedding. This matter is anything like that old
manure with straw used for hot beds. In fact I do not think it could heat up
like that old stuff. The manure lacks moisture. I was using stuff from my
neighbour's pile which was at least five years old if not more, on my
perennial flower bed that I reworked last your ( by the way I dug up
hundreds of daffodils in the process and none were rotted. No evidence of
Narcissus fly). It was more like bagged wood chip mulch. I can see that
this stuff could grow mycelium under the right circumstances.
