Default Re: Is Elephant, Giraffe, Rhino manure good?

I think the general rule with manure is that it's ok as long as it's from an herbivore. Omnivorous and carnivorous animals tend to have "hot" manure that could potentially burn plants. Of course, after you have let it sit for a while and compost, a great deal of the nitrogen has volatilized. At the student gardens at UF we had trouble with some of the Chinese lessees using night soil which is human waste.
