Cow Dung Compost / Gobar Khad 2 KG

Cow dung compost is decomposed cow manure, which is used as an organic fertilizer to improve soil health and promote plant growth. Unlike fresh cow dung, composted manure has been treated to eliminate harmful pathogens, weed seeds, and high levels of ammonia, making it safe for direct use on plants. 

Key benefits

• Enriches soil with nutrients: Cow dung compost contains essential macronutrients like nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium (NPK), which are released slowly over time to provide a steady supply of food for plants.
• Improves soil structure: The organic matter in cow dung compost helps to aerate heavy clay soils and increase the water retention of sandy soils. This results in a looser, more crumbly texture that makes it easier for roots to penetrate.
• Boosts beneficial microbial activity: Composted cow manure introduces healthy microbes into the soil, which helps to suppress soil-borne diseases and pests.
• Encourages stronger plants: By supplying a rich, balanced diet of nutrients, cow dung compost helps plants grow healthier and more resilient, leading to better yields.
• Natural and eco-friendly: As a recycled waste product, cow dung compost is a sustainable alternative to chemical fertilizers. 

How to use cow dung compost

• Mix with soil: Incorporate well-decomposed cow dung compost directly into garden beds before planting. For potted plants, a common ratio is one part compost to three parts soil.
• Top-dress plants: Spread a thin layer of compost around the base of established plants. The nutrients will slowly seep into the soil over time. Be careful not to let the compost touch the plant's stem directly.
• Use as mulch: Apply a layer of cow dung compost to help the soil retain moisture, suppress weeds, and add nutrients simultaneously.
• Make liquid fertilizer: Create a nutrient-rich "manure tea" by soaking cow dung compost in water for several weeks. Strain the liquid, dilute it with more water, and use it to water your plants for a quick nutrient boost.
