The snow just melted here and the pig yard is very muddy, so its not easy to move the manure because its all a big mess.
Anything that you can treat the ground with the reduce the smell?

Ive mentioned lacto bacillus serum on here before and never gotten any takers. It’s easy enough to make and use, do a google search and give it a try.

Garden lime, also called dolomite lime could help.

I wondered about that. Worked for my dogs, never had livestock bigger than rabbits and quail.

Just make sure it’s dolomite. Builders lime will burn skin and feet.

What about Bokashi? We use it in our outhouse and chicken pen. It has probiotics that changes the general smell to mildly sweet/sour like a subtle yogurt smell. Expensive to buy, but easy to make. I make it with free sawdust (more like tiny woodchips, not dusty) from our local sawmill.

Like the bokashi, it is a probiotic etc.
having read an article, you see it’s many uses; give it a try on anything you grow as well, plants like it too!
