The 'brown stuff' would be called humipoo as opposed to humipee!
They must be kept separate. Hard to do but vitally important for good results.
Humipoo along with all paper, needs to be buried for 6mths to allow the microbes to do their work away from interference. Humipee at correct dilution can be broadcast over the ground with no ill effects to human or animal.
I use compostable 'plastic' bags in my composting toilet & bury each bag along with a large double handful of blood & bone 50cm under the next fruit tree to be planted.
That way the tree finds the reserves of Phosphorous once it is big enough to need it.
Hard digging at my place I can tell you, since I am on a ridge made of rock. I get enough rock out of each hole over the course of the year of planting new trees to repair my 150m driveway every year.
Anyone wanting to get a good bit of exercise & free muscle toning is welcome to come here & spend a few days digging holes! There's also about 50 fence post holes that need digging too!
re using chicken manure; don't apply to paddocks horses graze. It is far too much phosphorous for their systems. The only P that should be applied to horse paddocks is rock P to just bring the soil back to balanced ratios & no more. The amount of P in chooken poo is almost toxic to horses.
