Tip: Spread Manure in Gardens

If you're new the My Gardening Home Blog, you may want to subscribe to our RSS feed. Thanks for visiting and we hope to see you again soon! Happy Gardening!

Spread composted or well-aged manure that is at least 6 months old in the garden. Fresh manure should only be added in areas where you won't plant for another month. Bagged manure can be used any time.
