Manure Mulch
IDEAL MULCH - COMPOSTED HORSE MANURE
For over thirty years Tall Oaks Farm now doing business as Bella Rosa Riding Academy has been delivering composted horse manure to local homeowners, gardeners, landscapers and nurseries. Composted horse manure is ideal for conditioning soils in flowerbeds and vegetable gardens, planting grass or sod, and mulching. Derived from a blend of clean, organic materials, including; stable bedding and sawdust, horse urine and manure. Raw materials are stacked into huge, moist piles, which are turned regularly to promote aerobic composting. The natural biological activity causes the piles to heat up to over 160ºF, killing weed seeds, roots, and pathogens. Horse Manure Compost is a biologically active product that builds healthy soil and healthy plants.
