Frequently Asked Questions about Westland Farmyard Manure
What is Westland Farmyard Manure used for?
Westland Farmyard Manure is a natural soil conditioner designed to improve soil structure, fertility, and moisture retention. It is ideal for beds, borders, vegetable plots, roses, trees, and shrubs, helping to enhance plant health and increase crop yields.
How does it improve soil structure?
By adding organic matter to the soil, it creates a well-aerated and free-draining environment that retains moisture while allowing oxygen to reach plant roots. This supports strong root development and helps plants establish more effectively. It also improves drainage in heavy clay soils and enhances structure in sandy soils, creating a better growing environment overall.
What nutrients does it provide?
Westland Farmyard Manure is rich in organic matter and has a balanced pH, ensuring nutrients are readily available for plants. This promotes vigorous growth, stronger foliage, and improved crop yields for fruits, vegetables, and ornamental plants. It naturally releases essential nutrients as it breaks down, supporting plant development throughout the growing season.
Does it support soil biodiversity?
Yes, it encourages beneficial soil microbes that break down organic matter and release nutrients, improving long-term soil fertility. By fostering a thriving soil ecosystem, it enhances natural biological activity, which is essential for healthy plant growth.
How do I use farmyard manure for mulching?
To mulch beds and borders, apply a layer approximately 3-4 cm deep over the soil surface, keeping it clear of plant stems. This helps suppress weeds, retain moisture, and gradually enrich the soil as the manure decomposes.
Can I use farmyard manure to improve my soil?
To enhance soil fertility and structure, spread a 3-4 cm layer over the soil and work it into the top 15-20 cm using a fork. This improves drainage in clay soils and enhances structure in sandy soils, creating optimal growing conditions.
How do I use it when planting roses, trees, or shrubs?
1. Dig a hole twice the depth and diameter of the root ball.
2. Mix one part manure with five parts soil and return some of this mix to the hole.
3. Place the plant in the hole, fill in gaps with compost, firm down, and water thoroughly.
Is farmyard manure suitable for all plants?
It is not suitable for ericaceous (acid-loving) plants such as rhododendrons, azaleas, camellias, or blueberries. These plants require a more acidic growing medium, such as ericaceous compost, to maintain the correct soil pH.
Can I use farmyard manure in containers?
Farmyard manure is best used as a soil conditioner rather than a direct planting medium. However, its packaging can be repurposed as planting containers, making it a useful option for growing potatoes and other vegetables.
How can I maximize my plant growth when using manure?
For optimal results, feed plants regularly with Boost All Purpose Liquid Plant Food, which is designed to enhance flowering and improve fruit and vegetable yields.
