Sigh, my first post to the SCA Cooks list, and it has to be about
compost... oh well, here goes, 
	Animal manure is fine as long as it is from an Herbivore (ie.
eats only plants).  Essentially, you are getting the animal to do the
initial stage of composting for you.  Keep an eye on it though, Lady
Katarina used some of the manure from Lady Ann's horses, and grew a
lovely crop of hay and oats in her yard!
