Composts, Manures and Supplements

Composted Garden Waste: If you do not have a compost heap in your garden, this is often produced by local councils from domestic kitchen and garden waste.

Composted Stable Manure: This usually contains a proportion of composted straw and/or other bedding materials as well as the horse manure.

Seaweed: Available in powdered form or a (more expensive) liquid form. Good for supplying trace elements. Especially good for raspberries.

Mushroom Compost: Usually available as 'spent mushroom compost' left over from mushroom farming. A useful soil conditioner and mulch. Alkaline in nature so avoid using around acid-loving (ericaceous) plants.
