    Hi I'm Jose from Coinvet, Inc, Miami, FL. I have a product "B-Magic" totally green, that is super accelerant of the decomposing process. It aids in the by increasing growth and strengthening present active microbes. By strengthening the microbes they can withstand most outside factors that normally slow or halt growth. By speeding up the composting process it can cut your composting time down significatly. With B-Magic there is a significant reduction of obnoxious odors, in as of 85% to 100%. If you want information, please contact us at 305-818-7071 and ask for Hector or Jose. also you can send us an email jose@coinvet.com.

    Horse manure may contain residues from the fertilizers used is hay production or in the feeds being used. Just something to consider.
