♻️ Organic Fertilizer: A Natural Boost for Compost and Fertile Soil
Organic fertilizer means naturally rotted cow manure — a clean, stable material that's safe for
plants. It feeds the soil for the long term and supports your garden's natural vitality.
plants grow strong all season long without the risk of over-fertilizing.
🍂 Rotted manure as a natural compost accelerator
If you want your home compost pile or bin to work faster, more effectively, and without
odour,
rotted manure is the best natural addition.
- Speeds up decomposition — kickstarts the composting process faster.
- Balances materials — helps achieve the right ratio of nitrogen and carbon (green and
brown material). - Adds microorganisms — introduces beneficial bacteria that get decomposition going.
- Reduces unpleasant odour — stable manure keeps the pile balanced and neutralizes
strong smells. - Boosts compost quality — the end result is noticeably richer in nutrients, softer, and
easier for plants to absorb.
🫱🫲 How to use rotted manure when composting?
- Add rotted manure in thin layers between kitchen scraps and dry garden waste (leaves, branches).
- The manure should make up about 10–20% of the total compost pile volume.
- Avoid thick, dense layers of manure so air can still circulate through the pile.
- Keep the compost moist (but not wet). Your compost is working correctly if the pile heats up inside and settles evenly.

In Estonia, sorting biowaste separately is mandatory. Households can be exempt from
biowaste collection fees if they compost their food scraps and garden waste properly on
site.
- Save money — composting at home means you don't have to pay for separate biowaste collection.
- Avoid pests — adding rotted manure speeds up decomposition and reduces food waste odour, keeping rodents and birds away.
