No not joking. It really is good for the garden. We quite happily put horse, cow even pet wee on the compost...mixed with poo!!!! why not human? It is the best thing for nitrogen and great compost accelerator
Can i also clarify that i want to know which is best poo! or mizuna for instance?
Neither is better and both are good. Green manures tend to be used on vege gardens because you are....arghhh can't think of the word....intensely! farming the same piece of ground and expecting a lot from it in one season.Most green manures are good nitrogen fixers which your veges need. They are also active unlike manure. They grow unlike manure, attracting insects to your crop. They cover bare ground until you are ready to plant. Act as a weed suppressant. But you couldn't really use them in your herbacious border...would look a little odd and some are not very attractive.
Manure is good for everywhere but can be too strong for your little seedlings growing in your vege patch. Thats why most people apply Autumn/Winter time so it can breakdown a bit before you start planting. There are also health concerns connected with using fresh manure around veges. You are, afterall, applying the waste products of animals and there is no guarantee that there are no worms or bacteria in it that could infect you!
When used around perennials and shrubs you should always apply so manure is not touching the stems leaving a little clear circle round the plants.
I just cannot imagine you standing there with bottle in hand asking customers,can you fill this please.
Pmsl!!!! As if....I just point out that if they are in the garden and feel the need could they pls do it in the compost cos their plants will like it. Most are quite happy to oblige
wow full of knowledge like it.Ok i have a patch of groung under a mighty oak so as you can it is acid soil how could i change it to alkaline the hostas and ferns are loving it. would hose muck do the trick?
so do you pick up your customers and take them around your and offer them a cup of tea or two then ask them to go and pee on your compost heap,i think it could be a bit messy for the women.
You can't. Your soil type is your soil type. All you can do is make it more plant friendly.Horse manure would do that because it is full of nutrients and by making the soil more able to take up water...I imagine its very dry and full of roots....This is what plants need to start the nutrient exchange off....won't go into that now....Basically when the ground is not extremely dry or extremely wet more plants can get what they need out of the soil to grow.
They are the same as us. They need air, water and food but not too much or too little of any of them.
