Elephant dung

I managed to get half a ton of Elephant dung, it was fresh
I put it on the roses and along the front privet,
Unfortunately my privet and next doors had died :-(

That must have been a jumbo haul.

 

You squashed your privet?

 

Do you live near a zoo by any chance?

As with most manure, it need to be "aged" before you use it.
If it's too fresh, it will possibly burn the roots of the plants. Which is what may have happened to your privet.

 

How thick did you put it on them?

 

Ah. The picture explains it, Jack. You're meant to fork it in gently, bit by bit. Not throw it all on the hedge in one go!

 

I think that trailor was over loaded, gross weight for agi vehicals is 31 tons now, but at leased it's free

 

Wouldn't want to be the next one using that trailer.... should've shipped it in a trunk..

 

I'd make a trunk call to the place you got it from and see if they can shed any light on it. Mind you that might be irrelephant.

 

Well at least you won't have any Lions around you. They won't go anywhere near the stuff ( can't blame them really ) .

 

You be surprized at how many agri trailors have been tip over and just put back on the road with out any kind of a look over

 

Elephant dung is extremely fibrous but doesn't contain high nitrogen like bird manure. Over use of elephant dung leads to plant burn.
