What it does:
Vitalizes the soil and stimulates root growth. Builds humus, enlivens soil microbial life, and helps ground the plant in the forces of growth and reproduction.
How to use:
Stir one unit for one hour in 3 gallons of lukewarm rainwater or other chemical-free water, ideally in the late afternoon. Spray immediately on moist soil, not on foliage. Best applied in spring and fall, and before planting or transplanting.
Ingredients:
Cow manure aged underground for 238 days. The cow horn is used only as part of the traditional production method; no horn material is contained in the finished preparation.
Organic pre-harvest interval:
Under Accredited Certifiers Association guidance for horn manure, the applicable 90- or 120-day interval begins when the filled horn is buried. This preparation is aged underground for 238 days, so that interval has elapsed before the finished product is removed and sold. Application does not restart the interval.
Use:
For agricultural use only. Apply to soil after stirring and dilution as directed. Not for human or animal consumption.
