Sheep manure, like other animal manures, is a natural slow-release fertiliser that helps retain moisture and nutrients as it gradually breaks down.

It is high in phosphorus and potassium – essential elements for optimal plant growth. These nutrients help plants establish strong roots, defend against pests, and grow into vibrant and productive plants. Using sheep manure as fertiliser is safe and effective for all gardens and landscape plants. It can also be used as organic mulch. Mulch roses with sheep manure, as they love it.

Cow manure is a great general-purpose soil conditioner, and when it’s well-rotted it’s particularly good for phosphorous-sensitive native plants. Composted cow manure fertiliser makes an excellent growing medium for garden plants. When turned into compost and fed to plants and vegetables, cow manure becomes a nutrient-rich fertiliser.
