Many experienced gardeners know that manure is considered the highest quality fertilizer.

This is a versatile product that has a significant positive impact on soil quality, increased crop yields and overall plant health.

If you do not have your own farm with farm animals, then buying manure in large quantities will be too expensive.

However, sometimes you can save money without sacrificing quality.
