on a vegetarian diet. would this be good to add to the compost bin?

any manure that is from a non carnivore is good. any manure that is in pellet form can be used without composting or aging.

Pigs are omnivores. The house we bought 11yrs ago was plopped down in the middle of what used to be a pig farm. We have heavy clay that doesn't drain well but the top 15 inches seem to be fairly fertile, decent topsoil, and I think that has to do with the pig farm that was here previously.
