organic manure
Animal waste fertilizer
Organic manure is animal dung, plant matter, or other natural materials used to fertilize soil.
The term distinguishes traditional fertilizers—cow manure, compost, bone meal—from synthetic chemical alternatives.
The farm uses only organic manure on its vegetable fields.
In gardening and agriculture, organic manure improves soil structure while adding nutrients.
