using cow manure as fertilizer in transplanting roses bushes


Question
What is the ratio of cow manure to potting soil in 12 inch clay pots?

Answer
Use 1 part Cow Manure to 4 parts soil.

The manure MUST be aged.  Use un-aged manure and you'll wipe out your Roses overnight with that stuff.

A year is the usual rule.

12 inch pots are a little small for Roses.  I hope you're growing Miniatures.

Thanks for writing.
