If you apply it to the top of the soil (no dig) and don’t till it in it will actually be pretty good for your soil. There is no need to till in amendments.
Not surprising of this. Keep in mind many mfgs have processing plants at various locations and buy manure or composting materials from different vendors and occassionally when product is not available they may use an alternate vendor. This does happen. Additionally when the label says "manure" this can be a marketing labeling gimmick but contains other ingredients such as sand, bark, or other materials. The reason the don't always tell you of what it contains is part of their trade secrets.
Same here first time I tried Kow manure that it was like gold,, next year I got some and it was like mulch and didnt buy any more , a big waste of money.
Shalom Shalom . Thanks for sharing your experience in South Africa with us! Much appreciated. Look forward to more content on your visit to Johannesburg South Africa. Ahava atah Shalom. Emah ❤All Praises!
I saw a video last week from a well know gardening channel they mentioned they lost a lot of there recently planted transplants. When they research to determine the cause they realize tot was the black cow! Its smelt like ammonia. The product burnt the roots of the plants
@@seedsofjudah I've heard of Grazon issues with Black Kow and other issues in another video. I used to buy food from a farm that was close by to me, which was apparently close by to Black Kow HQ, so the farm sold this fertilizer as well as used it. They were really organic and strict, so it's a shame to read all these negatives about Black Kow. I contacted them when I first was starting and it didn't seem to be for me. I'm EXTREMELY STRICT when it comes to amendments. One Manure brand I've heard great things about, as well as I purchased a bag, is "Bu's Blend Biodynamic Compost" by "MalibuCompost."

Watch out the epa allows sewage sludge to be labeled as compost on bagged compost for sale. They don’t have to disclose if sewage sludge aka biosolids is used in Any gardening product. Corruption in Washington DC is so bad the EPA is just another group of gangsters on the take.
I was not aware sewage sludge was allowed to be labeled as compost! You never know what you're getting in those bags I have not purchased any bagged compost this garden season. Ive been doing my own compost! What have you been using?
@@seedsofjudah I’ve been using both, I just recently found out about the EPA regulation 503, I also have my own compost pile but my space is limited. I’ve been researching about how to deal with it, but theres nothing there to find other than the bio solids have been processed into a safe material, no real clarity on how they do it, basically they heat it up, kinda bake it incrementally. To me it’s disturbing that the distinction between human waste and decomposing plant matter has been blurred, redefined and finalized by the EPA. I know human urea is a potent fertilizer and is safe for growing plants for human consumption, but still just like everything you have to know how to use it. Hopefully there will be some real research on this issue and what the precautions should be. The Truth is first hand knowledge and when I look at my garden, everything is thriving, plants, insects, birds, the rascal squirrels, my little biosphere is doing ok after all these years so I’m hopeful that the bio solids, if present, are not harmful to my/our environment. It would just be nice if the EPA would not be so cloak and dagger about their regulations and research. It makes me distrustful of them. Cheers, chin up, chest out!
Black Kow quality has gone down from last year. Black Kow manure compost today is not as good as Black Kow Top soil from last year. All brands are not consistent. I use cheap compost at a mulch because is has so much big wood chips in it.
Greenlee, is a beautiful gated community, centrally located in Sandton 10- 15 mins from restaurants , supermarkets & malls Our Air BNB rental was a great value at approximately $65 U.S dollars $1220 Rands per night, including taxes and cleaning fees.
That's a really bad batch, and not cow manure at all. It’s so sad how companies can just cut their product with garbage and charge just as much or even more. It's all marketing with black Kow and not a superior product. They aren’t cheap either but that product is totally inferior. It's probably shredded free pallet wood to that makes up that bag.
Yes it was!! I've never had this experience before. This is typically my go to fertilizer. Since this experience ive been researching and trying out other options like composting. Thank you for watching
I had a similar experience after purchasing 2 bags from my local ACE, there were many sticks as large as 1/4" in diameter, large wood chips, and a pile of rocks and gravel at the bottom. It was garbage, no better than the ACE brand.
Its really getting bad it appears they put anything in those bags now. Its best to either start your own compost or deal directly with a local farmer if you have one in your area. Thanks for watching .
Wow, that's an impressive harvest of watermelons! The size and quality of those melons are incredible. It's amazing to see how the hard work and care put into growing them has paid off. Enjoy the juicy and refreshing fruits of your labor! ✨🍉
It really depend on what your planting. I use bone meal, worm casing or fish fertilizer. There are many good balance fertilizers on the market. But I hear nothing better than finding a local farm and getting some organic fertilizers (ex. Chicken or cow poo),
This has nothing to do with Black Kow, sometimes stores have to go through 3rd parties to get the product and these companies take out the product and replace it with something completely different, never order things like this online, especially through Amazon because they always go through many vendors and sellers and always replace the product, they even have the ability to reseal the bags and you would never be able to tell…
Wow I haven't seen that. It looks like they put mulch in the wrong bags. My only complaint with Black Kow is the price. It's almost 6 bucks a bag here, and right next to it is compost/manure for $2.56 a bag and it works just as good, if not better than the Black Kow. God bless yall and I hope you have an abundant year!
Thank you very much for this video I’m just seeing this now and I agree the quality is definitely going downhill. I buy a pallet every year for my garden beds and this year is the last year I will be doing this I am tired of getting mulch and twigs instead of cow manure. I’m going to the old ways to just buy it through local farms.
You bed cows on what is cheapest, wood chips is probably a very normal thing to find in it. Horse manure mixed with straw goes to the mushroom farms. You don't want all those grass and maybe weed seeds.
Thank you for this informative video. This is the 2nd video I came across (that was suggested to me via YT). In the first video the narrator mentioned that she got what seemed like good quality manure in a Black Kow bag vs Earthgro. It would reckon that mass production will always have its issues so what I intend to do a cut a bag open and check the quality of the manure BEFORE I leave the store. Of course I would rebag it if I decided to purchase. I realize this video was made over a year ago but now money is way too tight to purchase anything with deceptive labels. Happy gardening all!
