Garden Manure Fertilizer (15 items found)

Treating fields with manure is an age-old way of boosting fertility for healthier crops with higher yields. But you don't need to rear your own livestock to enjoy the same fertilizing benefits in your own yard. Our range of animal manure from cows, steers and chickens is conveniently packaged to make applying it easy, naturally boosting your yard's health without the use of chemical sprays or powders.

Steer and Cow Manure

Cow and steer manure are high in organic material thanks to the natural cattle diet of grasses and grains. It's rich in nitrogen with a typical level of 3%, followed by phosphorous at 2% and potassium at 1%. This combination of nutrients is well balanced for all-around plant health, producing plentiful foliage and sturdy growth.

One point to bear in mind with fresh cow or steer manure is that it usually has a high ammonia content which can be toxic to plants. Using an aged manure product ensures that this harsh chemical is fully broken down before you add the fertilizer to your yard or garden.

High-Nitrogen Chicken Manure

Chicken manure fertilizer is even richer in nitrogen than cow manure, making it an excellent feed for leafy plants, shrubs and vegetables. However, in its natural state, it can be too strong for most plants, risking chemically burning the stems and leaves. Because of this, only properly aged chicken manure should be used in most situations.

The Importance of Composting Manure Fertilizer

Because of its high ammonia and nitrogen levels, fresh manure shouldn’t be added to delicate plants. Buying a packed manure product from Ace ensures that the necessary aging has already occurred, so you can spread the fertilizer with confidence. Many of our animal manures also come mixed with organic plant compost to ensure the mineral concentration is kept at safe levels.

The Benefits of Manure for Plants

Adding garden manure to your flower borders and vegetable patches brings many advantages for your plants. Not only is manure compost packed with essential nutrients that can help your plants to grow quicker and stronger, but those nutrients are made available in a more measured way than with liquid feeds or other synthetic fertilizers. Choose a high-quality cow manure compost and you won't risk overwhelming your plants with a dangerously high concentration of minerals.

Natural and organic animal manure improves the structure of your soil as well as its nutrient value, leading to better drainage, easier working and increased resistance to erosion. What's more, organic manure is packed with microbes to boost the health of living soil.

And lastly, a natural product like chicken poop fertilizer improves the soil's ability to hold on to nutrients, preventing the leeching away that's familiar in thin, low-quality soils.
