I am considering buying 2 mini donkies
. We don't have a whole lot of land and they will have to end up being in a dry paddock (not enough land to be able to rotate or keep the grass growing). I will thus have to be picking up and doing something with the manure!
I wont have farm equiiptment or a place to spread it, but I do want to start a small garden and try composting.
My question is, how much manure do 2 minis produce in a given amount of time? I'm sure mini donk vs mini horse is close enough- wont worry about that difference. During the spring/summer/fall I can use the compost on my garden / give it away to other gardeners. What about the winter time? In a 4-6 month period how big of a pile of poop will i have while composting? How big of an area will I have to make into a compost? And once its all done, how much will be left?
I want to have minis but not if I am going to have to have a 5 foot high, 10 foot wide pile of poop around all year.
