Description

What is farmyard manure used for?

Well-rotted farmyard manure adds valuable organic matter to garden soil. Incorporating organic matter can help make heavy soils easier to work while helping lighter soils hold moisture and nutrients more effectively.

• Improve beds and borders: dig into the soil when preparing ground for planting.
• Vegetable plots: useful for enriching soil before many hungry vegetable crops.
• Trees and shrubs: mix with existing soil when preparing a planting area, following the plant’s individual requirements.
• Mulching: spread over the soil surface around established plants to add organic matter and help conserve soil moisture.
• General soil conditioning: useful when refreshing tired garden soil or building organic matter over time.

Farmyard manure or compost?

Farmyard manure is particularly useful when the aim is to improve the soil itself. For pots, seed sowing and most container growing, use an appropriate potting compost instead. For beds, borders, allotments and planting areas, manure is an excellent way to add organic matter to the existing soil.

How to use

For soil improvement, spread over the intended area and incorporate into the existing soil. For mulching, apply around established plants while keeping material away from direct contact with stems. When planting individual plants, use it as a soil improver rather than replacing all of the existing soil.

Pack size: 50 litres.
