Concentrated FYM

[Potstubsdustbins]

As some people will know this year I am trying concentrated farm yard manure as a compost sweetener instead of grow more.

The results so far are quite promising I have deliberately grown two lots of calabrese one using grow more and one using concentrated FYM. The difference is easy to see the calabrese in CFYM treated compost is far in front and are already hearting up.

My Kelvedon Wonder peas whilst I do not have a comparison do to lack of space look to be doing well to.

Looking very good Potty! Which FYM are you using? Marshalls??

[Potstubsdustbins]

Yes VC, I don't know if others do it but came across it whilst browsing their catalogue earlier this year.

It would seem good for the back yard gardener like myself as its dry, more or less odour free and very easy to use. We will see as the year goes on.

found it on google .... its not the same as 6X (6X is chicken manure) ...

sounds good and cheap as it also has seaweed .... does the label have the NPK ratios?

[Potstubsdustbins]

I don't think so but will check tomorrow.

6X years ago used to be 6 X concentrated cow manure? (Darn chickens are taking over the world!)
