Tips for Manures

Apply well-rotted manure to your garden beds in the spring or fall to enrich the soil and improve nutrient levels. Avoid fresh manure as it can burn plants and introduce harmful bacteria. Spread the manure evenly and mix it into the top few inches of soil. Use manure from different animal sources to provide a broader range of nutrients. Keep an eye out for any pests that may be present in the manure and take appropriate measures to control them.
