Technical Details

Black Kow® will help reduce thatch buildup, hold moisture near the roots, and help fight pests and disease. Existing lawns should be given an application of 100 lbs. of Black Kow® composted cow manure per 100 sq. ft.

For new beds and gardens – add 5 to 8 pounds of Black Kow® per sq. ft. of bed. (Spread a layer one and one-half inch thick) Mix into the top six inches of soil.

If you want a manure that’s easy to apply, sheep and goat manure are winners. Because they’re dry, they are easy to crumble and sprinkle on your lawn or mix with other ingredients. Like poultry manure, they’re high in nitrogen, but they are less odorous and don’t burn lawns as much as other types of manure can.

An application of composted cow manure in early fall and another in late fall feed your lawn and encourage it to grow lush and green in the spring. The microorganisms in the compost attract beneficial earthworms, fungi and bacteria, to your lawn.

Well-aged cow manure is one of the best organic fertilizers you can apply to lawn turf. It is high in nitrogen and many other trace nutrients but releases its benefits slowly over time so burn and stress on the grass are not an issue. Lay down aged cow manure as a top dressing over recently mowed grass.

When it’s normal, cattle manure should look like heavy cake batter, in a pile that has just enough moisture to spread out. The pie-shaped manure should be light to mid-brown in color and should be thick in its best form. When things go wrong with cattle, many changes take place.

All Manures are not Equal Fertilize trees in early spring so they can use the nutrients during active growth. Cow manure is usually aged into compost before it is sold, so it also makes for a good tree manure. Sheep manure has a high nitrogen content, but it has a lower content of other nutrients.

A complete fertilizer, such as 16-4-8, 12-6-6 or 12-4-8, is generally recommended, unless the soil test reveals that phosphorus and potassium are adequate. Two kinds of fertilizers are available: fast-release and slow-release.

If you have a choice, cow or horse manure is good if you are looking for a manure with organic matter. Both animals eat grass and produce a nice carbon-rich manure. Sheep manure is equally good for the same reason, plus it comes in a naturally small package, which makes it easier to handle.
