The difference between traditional manure and granulated manure: 🙂
- Form: Traditional manure is a natural fertilizer in the form of decomposing animal excrements and plant residues, while granulated manure is processed and dried organic fertilizer that has been turned into granules.
- Composition and action: Granulated manure usually has more concentrated nutrients and acts faster than traditional. Traditional manure works slower but improves soil structure and its ability to retain water.
- Application: Granulated manure is easier to apply and dose (no need for a fork; just spread it around), and it smells less 😁
As for the choice of which is better – it depends on the specific needs of the crop and the gardener’s preferences. Granulated is more practical and hygienic, while traditional has additional benefits for soil structure.
