Organic Blend Manure
Posted: November 7th, 2011 | Author: hortoris | Filed under: Products | No Comments »Organic Blend manure is a trade name rather than a description. Obviously there will be organic materials in the manure because that is what it is all about.
Pros and Cons of Packaged Organics
I am a bit concerned that the packaging fails to prominently identify the animals in this farmyard.
Farmyard animals may have been treated with medicines and chemicals that are expelled in to the manure and I do not think this is Organic in the true sense of the word.
A ‘special blend of organic nutrients’ could be blood fish and bone or just a way of saying horse muck.
‘Contains humus’ well lets not be surprised!
‘Invigorates’ roses, flowers fruit and vegetables Mmmm some claim.
On the plus side the manure should be sterile (unlike the stuff I collect from the stables).
I would expect the manure to be weed free (unlike the stuff I collect from the stables).
The manure is more friable and textured (unlike the stuff I collect from the stables).
Buyer beware ‘where there is muck there’s brass’ to mix two sayings. Vendors (retailers and manufacturers) are out to make a profit whilst gardeners are out to make a great garden and in my case without too many plastic bagged products.
If you can’t acquire your own ‘Organic’ may not be worth the extra price but it enhances the feel good factor and may do your garden good.
