Check out the organics forum... I'll put this thread there.

re: Pig Poop, their **** has pathogens in it (bad for plant), but if its 100 years old, it might be empty of nutrients anyway.

In a brief web search, I came up with so much conflicting information that I don't know what to tell you. I found wildly differing NPK values, high phosphorous warnings.... the only thing every site agreed on was that pig manure needed to be well composted, and a year is well done if you ask me.
Let's wait.. maybe Organic will weigh in with the straight scoop.

You mean, the straight scoop on the straight poop?

I would guess if it's a hundred years old, you aren't going to have to worry about pathogens, and I agree with Slim about it probably being pretty well devoid of nutrients. But if stuff is growing really well there, that's a sign the soil is good.
