We recommend Orgro, a concentrated manure and soil improver. Manure is one of the most popular ways you can improve the quality of your soil, not only by putting key minerals and nutrients back into the soil but by improving the soil structure itself.
Why use manure?
If you take the time to ensure what is going on below-ground is good and right, it will give back tenfold by supporting bumper crops and harvests.
Orgro is safe to use anywhere in the garden because it is 100% organic and therefore rich in humus which is vital to healthy plant growth.
When to apply Orgro
You can apply manure at any time of the year as long as it has been well rotted down. Applying fresh manure can not only scorch roots and foliage from direct contact but can also result in the plants capacity to survive. Unfortunately, fresh manure can contain bacteria that can contaminate vegetables and cause human disease so is really not advised.
Applying a concentrated manure like Orgro now, will not only allow your soil to take up the nutrients it needs for a successful spring season ahead but it will aerate and improves the structure of your soil for over-wintering crops.
How to apply
Orgro can be used to prepare the ground prior to a crop due to be planted by enriching the soil and enhancing the soil structure. It can also be used as a top dressing during the growing season to aid supporting the plants as they grow up to 2-3 times supplying the crop with vital nutrients for those bumper crops to come.
It can also be made into a liquid feed. Place some manure in a well punctured bag and leave in a water bucket or barrel to infuse. The resulting water will have taken on the vital nutrients. This method will not aid the soil structure as when using the complete product due to the nature of the application.
Which crops/areas will it benefit?
Orgro can be used almost anywhere! Lawns, vegetables, (brassicas, lettuces, onions, carrots, beans to name a few) bulbs, pot plants, perennials, trees, shrubs, roses, hedges and all types of fruit trees, fruit plants and bushes.
Crops to avoid
Crops such as carrots do not need manure and will be more prone to forking.
Top Tips For Application
When using Orgro please ensure you check the recommended application rates as Orgro is up to 6 times more concentrated than farmyard manure and a little goes a long way.
