Pig Manure adds Nutrients to the Vegetable Garden.

Posted Feb 04 2008 10:50am

‘Pig manure has a very high nutrient content and is rich in potash and phosphorus’ writes Sara from Farming Friends. She goes on to say that ‘…Pig manure can be applied to root crops especially leeks and potatoes.

It is important to remember not to apply fresh manure to plants and crops as the manure will scorch the plants. Let the manure mature or apply the manure and work into the soil four weeks prior to planting.’

The pig manure will not smell when it is well rotted. All farmyard manure, including pig manure, will add valuable nutrients to the vegetable garden.
