In the conditions of the Russian climate, plants simply need to be fed, saturating them with all those useful vitamins and minerals that they are not able to take from the soil. Horse manure is a great option for this. Today it is worth talking about this type of fertilizer and the features of working with it.
Benefits of horse manure
Horse manure is indeed a very nutritious plant food. With its help, crops are actively developing and growing, bringing a high-quality and large harvest in the future.
There is only one "but" - this fertilizer is not found so often in its pure form, because not every city has stables where, in fact, you can buy droppings.
Horse manure composition
Such feeding is a kind of growth activator for many plants. Statistics show that with its help, even stunted seedlings in a short time turn into strong and healthy plants. And all because horse manure contains all the necessary elements for their growth: nitrogen, phosphorus, calcium and, of course, potassium.
Also, this type of fertilizer is good because, being in the soil from year to year, it does not lose its beneficial properties.
Fertilization rules for horse manure
For top dressing to really work, you need to follow a number of simple rules.
First, it is important to know that for every square meter of land there must be at least six kilograms of horse manure. Only in this case will the soil really become favorable for the growth of many plants and crops.
Second, it is best to add fertilizer to the soil in the fall after digging up the soil. So, during the winter, he will be able to give away a lot of nutrients and in the spring the gardener will have a favorable soil.
