How to control the amount of sheep manure used in growing flowers? Can fermented sheep manure be used to grow flowers?

Sheep manure is the feces of sheep. Animal manure is a very good fertilizer, which is useful for growing flowers and vegetables. When using it, you should pay attention to controlling the amount. Too much will burn the roots, so it is better to ferment the sheep manure before using it.

How to control the amount of sheep manure for growing flowers

Because sheep manure is the feces of herbivorous animals, it can be used directly for growing flowers without fermentation, and it will not easily burn the roots and yellow the leaves. However, when using it for potted flowers at home, you should pay attention to the amount. If the flowerpot is small and the plant is not large, a few grains are enough for a pot with a diameter of about 20 cm. And it is best not to put it directly in the pot, it is better to cover it with soil.

If it is an outdoor potted plant, or flowers and plants planted in the open field, or flowers and plants in large pots, then you can have more of them. For larger potted roses, gardenias, camellias, etc., you can give them a handful of sheep manure fertilizer once a month, and bury it in the potting soil, away from the roots.

When we plant flowers, we can also use some sheep manure as base fertilizer at the bottom of the pot. If it is a plant that likes fertilizer, it doesn’t matter if you put more, just keep it away from the root system. Or soaking sheep manure in water and watering flowers is also good.

Can fermented sheep manure be used to grow flowers?

You can grow flowers.

If a large amount of sheep manure is needed as flower fertilizer, we can choose a dry, open and sunny open space, pile the sheep manure that needs to be fermented and decomposed into a cone shape, cover it with a layer of loose soil and let it ferment naturally. The fermentation time depends on the local climate. If only a small amount of sheep manure is needed for fertilization, the sheep manure can be placed in a sealed container and fermented under the sun. Note that the container cannot be glass, be careful of explosion. After the sheep manure is fermented and decomposed, remove the weeds inside and smash them with a hammer. It is a very good fertilizer for growing flowers.

Sheep manure is a thermal fertilizer. The heat of the newly fermented sheep manure organic fertilizer has not yet completely dissipated, so it needs to be dried for a period of time before it can be applied to the flowers to prevent root burn. In addition, the proportion of sheep manure used as flower fertilizer should also be used according to the characteristics of the flowers. Some flowers need more sheep manure flower fertilizer, so apply more; some flowers need less sheep manure flower fertilizer, so apply less. Sheep manure is one of the best flower fertilizers. It contains a comprehensive content of nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium elements, and has a long-lasting fertilizer effect. It can provide basic fertilizers for plants for a long time and improve the pH of the soil. Note: When using sheep manure to grow flowers, the sheep manure flower fertilizer should not be closely attached to the roots of the flowers. It can be buried around the flower pot to achieve nutritional supplements.

How to grow flowers with sheep manure

When repotting, place the fermented sheep manure at the bottom of the flowerpot to change the effect of the flowerpot on flowers and plants, and the fertilizer effect is very good. If the flowerpot at home is large and you don't plan to repot, you can also dig from the edge of the flowerpot and bury it, or soak it in water to water the flowers and plants.

Fermented sheep manure is a bit like slow-release fertilizer, which will continue to provide nutrients for flowers and plants. Generally speaking, the amount of sheep manure should not exceed 1/5 of the total amount of potting soil, and the concentration should also be paid attention to when soaking water for flowers and plants.

The nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium content in cattle and sheep manure is the highest, comparable to that of poultry. Moreover, the nutrients in sheep manure are relatively balanced, suitable for both green leaf planting and flowering plants, and a good choice for home flowers.
