But manure stinks real badly,

how can one get a manure that does not

smell as badly as the regular ones.....

[slapout]

In my experience the irregular manure has the same smell as regular. If you will wait a week or so for the patties to sun dry, do a smell comparison, the sun dried might meet with your approval.

the way you typically use these is compost them first after few month apply them to plant. Note it shouldn't smell. After than apply them to plant. hope that help.

Put it aside for a year, preferably mixed with any other dung or compostable material. If it stinks, spead a little dirt over it. Turn it every quarter. Never put fresh dung on plants. When it's all friable you can spread it where you want. For new shrubs/trees dig it in several inches below where the roots will rest when planted, preferably some months before you plant the shrub. That will probably be about two foot deep. When turning a dung heap here use care and a long fork; watch out for angry disturbed creatures. One way is to put your heap on that horrid blue plastic netting and turn by pulling the corners to turn it over. Needs two of you and don't wait 'til it's too big.
