How to Use

How to use Farmyard Manure...

It is best dug in to the soil for immediate benefits to the soil characteristics, can also be used a mulch.

For a first application to heavy, stale soils the manure should be applied at a depth of approximately 80 – 120mm and incorporated evenly throughout the top 250 – 350 mm of soil.

For subsequent annual applications and to bulk up sandy soils, apply at a depth of approximately 30 – 80mm and incorporate into the top fork depth of soil to build up structure and fertility year on year.

Ensure the farmyard manure is well mixed in with the soil to give maximum benefit to the plants and to create an even distribution of nutrients.

Manure is also suitable for mulching around the bases of well established fruit trees and bushes. To insulate the root base and feed the top soil apply to a depth of approximately 40 – 70mm. For more information on mulching, see our mulches page.

When to use Farmyard Manure...

Manure is best dug in where required in autumn through to early spring and left to rest before planting. It can be continued to be used as a light dressing or mulch all year round.
