Clover Blended Farmyard Manure 40L is a completely natural and organic garden fertiliser and soil improver, ideal for enriching garden soil with organic matter while supporting healthy plant growth. Suitable for planting, mulching and soil conditioning, it is a versatile choice for flowers, fruit, vegetables, roses, trees and shrubs.

Farmyard manure has long been used to improve cultivated soils by adding valuable organic matter. As it becomes incorporated into the soil, it contributes humus and nutrients while helping improve the physical condition of the root zone.

Clover's ready-to-use blended farmyard manure provides gardeners with a convenient bagged soil improver that can be used across beds, borders, vegetable plots, allotments and other cultivated areas.

Supplied in a 40 litre bag, Creation Horticulture supplies 80 x 40L bags per full pallet.

Improve soil with organic matter

Organic matter plays an important role in maintaining healthy garden soil. Regular incorporation of suitable organic material can improve soil structure and create better conditions for root development.

Clover Blended Farmyard Manure provides a convenient source of organic matter and humus that can be incorporated into cultivated ground during soil preparation.

In lighter soils, additional organic matter can help improve moisture and nutrient retention. In heavier soils, it can contribute towards a more workable structure when incorporated as part of a wider soil-improvement programme.

Soil improvement is gradual rather than instant. Regular additions of organic matter over successive growing seasons can help maintain productive, workable garden soil.

Where can Clover Farmyard Manure be used?

Clover Blended Farmyard Manure is suitable for a broad range of garden and allotment applications, including:

  • Vegetable plots
  • Allotments
  • Flower beds and borders
  • Fruit-growing areas
  • Rose beds
  • Tree and shrub planting areas
  • General soil improvement
  • Mulching around established plants
  • Preparing ground before planting

The requirements of individual plants should always be considered. Some plants prefer relatively low-fertility conditions or have specialist soil requirements, so manure does not need to be added indiscriminately to every part of the garden.

Farmyard manure for vegetable gardens & allotments

Vegetable plots and allotments can benefit considerably from regular additions of organic matter, particularly where crops are grown intensively year after year.

Clover Blended Farmyard Manure can be incorporated into suitable beds as part of soil preparation, helping replenish organic matter and improve the condition of cultivated ground.

It is particularly useful when preparing areas for crops that benefit from rich, moisture-retentive soil. Crop requirements vary, however, so the timing and quantity of manure used should be appropriate for the plants being grown.

Using farmyard manure when planting

Clover Blended Farmyard Manure can be used as part of ground preparation before establishing flowers, fruit, vegetables, roses, trees and shrubs.

When preparing a bed or border, incorporate the manure into the existing soil rather than treating it as a replacement for soil or potting compost. This adds organic material throughout the cultivated layer and helps improve the overall root environment.

When planting individual trees and shrubs, manure can be used as part of wider soil preparation, but avoid placing concentrated manure directly against sensitive roots or stems.

Using Clover Farmyard Manure as a mulch

Farmyard manure can also be used as an organic surface mulch around suitable established plants.

Applied over the soil surface, organic material helps protect the ground and gradually becomes incorporated into the upper soil layers through natural biological activity and cultivation.

When mulching around trees, shrubs and other established plants, leave a clear space immediately around stems, crowns and tree trunks rather than piling organic material directly against them.

Farmyard manure vs compost

Clover Blended Farmyard Manure and Clover Multi Purpose Compost perform different jobs in the garden.

Farmyard manure is primarily a fertiliser and soil improver. It is intended to add organic matter and nutrients to existing garden soil and can also be used for suitable mulching applications.

Multi-purpose compost is a growing medium designed for applications such as pots, containers, potting-on and seed sowing.

Clover Farmyard Manure should therefore not be treated as a direct substitute for potting compost when filling containers.

Farmyard manure vs soil conditioner

Both products can improve garden soil, but they have slightly different roles.

Clover Blended Farmyard Manure combines its soil-improving properties with its role as a natural organic garden fertiliser, making it particularly useful where both organic matter and fertility are required.

A dedicated soil conditioner is more specifically focused on adding organic fibre and humus to improve soil structure and moisture management.

Clover Blended Farmyard Manure 40L FAQs

What is Clover Blended Farmyard Manure?

It is a completely natural and organic garden fertiliser and soil improver supplied in a convenient 40L bag.

Is farmyard manure the same as multi-purpose compost?

No. Farmyard manure is primarily used to improve and enrich existing soil. Multi-purpose compost is a growing medium intended for jobs such as potting and container growing.

Can I use Clover Farmyard Manure in a vegetable garden?

Yes. It is suitable for vegetable plots and allotments and can be incorporated into suitable beds as part of soil preparation.

Is Clover Farmyard Manure suitable for roses?

Yes. Clover identifies farmyard manure as suitable for flowers, fruit and vegetables as well as roses, trees and shrubs.

Can farmyard manure improve clay soil?

Adding organic matter can help improve the structure and workability of heavy soils over time. For best results, soil improvement should be viewed as an ongoing process rather than a one-off treatment.

Can Clover Farmyard Manure be used as mulch?

Yes. It can be used for suitable mulching applications around established plants. Keep the material away from direct contact with stems, crowns and tree trunks.

Can I fill pots with farmyard manure?

Farmyard manure is not intended to replace a formulated potting compost. For container growing, choose an appropriate Clover growing medium and use manure only where suitable for the particular plant and application.

Why might the Clover bag I receive look different from the product image?

Clover is transitioning selected products to updated branded packaging, so either current packaging design may be supplied during the changeover.

How many Clover Farmyard Manure 40L bags are supplied per pallet?

A full Creation Horticulture pallet contains 80 x 40L bags, providing a total nominal volume of 3,200 litres.
