Herbaceous
Borders & Shrubberies
Use
2-3inches (5-7cm) of horse manure compost around shrubs and herbaceous
perennials to feed plants. Can
be used all year round. This will also suppress weed
growth reducing loss of nutrients from the soil and
minimise the work of weeding borders. Through the summer
the mulch will retain moisture and protect the soil from
drying from sun and wind movement.
Soil
conditioning
Bring
dead soil back to life. Use when
manure is recommended, all year round. Use horse
manure compost in heavy clay soils to improve the
condition or use in light sandy soils to give body and
retain moisture. Use 2-3inches
(5-7cm) forked well into the soil to improve the
condition of the soil, reducing heaviness and adding
nutrients. The soil can be planted immediately.
Feeding.
Mr Muck's
organic horse manure compost forked well into the soil will give
plants a gentle slow release feed through the summer and
help to retain moisture. Use a generous layer for best
results.
