Spread a layer approximately 5cm deep over the area to be improved and thoroughly dig or fork it into the top 15–20cm of soil.
For best results, mix the manure evenly through the existing soil rather than leaving concentrated pockets around plant roots.
Prepare a planting hole suitable for the plant's root system. Mix the Farmyard Manure thoroughly with the excavated garden soil before using the mixture to backfill around the root ball.
Firm gently after planting and water thoroughly.
When preparing ground for roses, incorporate Farmyard Manure thoroughly into the surrounding soil to increase its organic matter content and improve growing conditions.
Work into beds before sowing or planting to improve soil structure, fertility and moisture retention. Incorporating organic matter is particularly useful when preparing vegetable plots and flower beds for the growing season.
Westland Farmyard Manure can also be spread around established plants as an organic mulch. Leave space immediately around plant stems and trunks rather than piling the material directly against them.

Farmyard manure is primarily a soil conditioner and source of organic matter, making it particularly useful when the aim is to improve the physical condition of garden soil as well as its fertility.
Regular incorporation of organic matter can help improve the soil's ability to hold moisture and nutrients while creating better conditions for healthy root growth.
For sowing seeds, rooting cuttings or growing plants entirely in containers, use a dedicated seed, potting or container growing medium rather than Farmyard Manure on its own.
Wear gloves when handling and wash hands after gardening.
Open and use in a well-ventilated area.
Avoid breathing in dust.
Store in a cool, dry place away from weedkillers and other garden chemicals.
Reseal or securely close the bag after use.
Always follow the directions on the current product packaging.
