Hello Viateur and others, What is written about 'potting up' sounds very much like it is actually horsemanure. We see that it is 100% organic, is lightweight and effective in the ways that horsemanure is.
Can anyone tell us what 'Potting Up' is actually made from? My guess is that it is actually made from horse manure. If so the success it brings does not surprise me as I've used horsemanure for over 25 years with great success. So have many others who use it properly. Using 'Potting Up' could be a convenient way for those who don't have access to horsemanure.
