Cow Manure
We offer a wide range of cow manure (cow dung), ideal for improving your soil quality and providing essential minerals for your garden. Cow manure is a traditional favourite of many gardeners, especially for vegetable and fruit tree growers, but is also suitable for most plants and trees, including roses, flowers and lawns.
Most products in this range have been composted and aged to minimise odour and make them safer for plants, and to reduce the risk of fertiliser “burn”. Please note that the extent of “aging” varies between the different brands of manure. ANL Cow and Compost is a convenient way to add a wider variety of nutrients to the soil than just manure alone.
Organic Gardening: Cow manure is an excellent organic gardening option. We offer three levels of organic manure fertiliser. Our standard Cow Manure 35L is a natural manure straight from the farm, with no added ingredients; however, it is not produced in accordance with certified organic principles. Grange Cow Manure is produced in accordance with organic principles, but it is not certified organic, which helps keep the price down. Grow Better Organic Cow Manure is certified organic and produced in accordance with organic principles, ensuring it is made from cows fed with organic feed. ANL Cow and Compost is a convenient way to provide both manure and compost simultaneously. Some variety in organic matter can be more beneficial than manure alone. Please see below for frequently asked questions.
Frequently Asked Questions About Cow Manure
A. How much cow manure should I use on my garden bed?
B. As a general rule of thumb, it's suggested to use the following rates. For 25-litre cow manure bags, use 0.7 to 1.4 bags per square metre; for 35-litre bags, use 0.5 to 1 bag per square metre.
To measure how many square metres your garden is, measure the length and width of the garden and then multiply the two figures. For example, if your garden is 6 metres long and 2 metres wide, this would be 6 x 2 = 12 square metres.
