Compost manure – Pashupati Nursery

Composted manure is animal manure left to decompose. It can then be used as a nutrient-rich soil amendment for gardens. It no longer smells or contains dangerous pathogens. It may be made solely from manure, but most often it contains other composted materials like straw or sawdust.

“Either way, manure is high in organic matter and nutrients that are essential to plant growth,” says Barbara Shea, a master gardener with Tertill.
