Horn Manure

It's that wonderful time of year again, when the earth is cooling down and the sun is getting lower in the sky. It's a time to rejuvenate the earth after the intense spring and summer growing season.
At Imago Forest we have been putting lime, certified organic fertiliser and biodynamic horn manure concentrate out each spring and autumn to improve the soil.
The amounts of lime and fertiliser have been carefully calculated to bring the soil up to horticultural standard over a period of around 3-4 years. This makes sure that we don't "shock" the soil and natural processes have a chance to increase in sync with our activities.
The horn manure we put out is a special biodynamic preparation that is used much like a homeopathic remedy to bolster the overall strength and energy.
This process has been seeing great results and each season we notice the beds become richer and easier to work.
