I made the mistake once (in a previous garden) of
getting a couple of loads of municipal compost from one of those suburban yard
waste dumps. The stuff must have been half crabgrass seed. Don't
make that mistake, folks.
On the horse manure heat business though---horse
poop was traditionally considered a 'hot' manure, and that of cattle
cold. Because horse manure heated up quickly it was the manure of
choice for manure- fueled hotbeds (coldframes warmed by fermenting manure dug
into a pit beneath them). I have not performed the experiment
myself.
