   Horse manure is really great stuff if you can get it.  Maybe check with   
   a nearby stable or agricultural college; any place that keeps horses is   
   invariably generating "horsepucky" and may well be happy to give it away   
   for free. Alpaca or lama manure might also be good but I can't say for sure.
