jay6785 Posted September 15, 2010 Looked in a couple of hardware stores and gardening centres with no luck, any ideas where can I find horse manure?? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Amazonian Posted September 15, 2010 (edited) I was in a pinch at that stage too and could not find any horse poo. I used cow manure from Bunnings( Fine farms brand) .I can guarantee it works. I intend to get natural horse/cow poo when i come across it .But for now, the cow poo from Bunnings works just fine ( Assuming you are mixing it with straw and palm peat).

jay6785 Posted September 15, 2010 Thanks, why using palm peat though and not coco-coir with the cow manure? Bunnings cow manure is the one I actually have atm too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
