Topsoil with fertilizer
Aged horse manure
Holds moisture so less plant watering
Horse manure is a valuable organic fertilizer, typically providing nitrogen (N), phosphorus and potassium
in approximate ratios of 12-6-9 lbs per ton
It acts as a soil conditioner, generally containing secondary nutrients like magnesium and sodium. It is less nutrient-dense than chicken manure but excellent for improving soil structure.
Nutrient Composition of Horse Manure (Approximate per Ton):
Nitrogen (N): 7–12 lbs, promoting green leafy growth.
Phosphorus : 2–6 lbs, essential for root development and blooms.
Potassium : 2.5–9 lbs, enhancing overall plant health and disease resistance.
Sodium (Na) & Other: Contains Calcium, Magnesium, and Sodium as secondary nutrients.
Application: It is best applied in early spring or fall to improve soil tilth, aeration, and water-holding capacity.
a ton of horse manure will contain 12 pounds of nitrogen (N), 6 pounds of phosphorous (P2O5), and 9 pounds of potassium (K2O)
