Horn Manure (BD 500) | Instructions for Use on Soil

What you need:

  • 3 gallons of lukewarm rainwater (or chemical-free water) for every 1 unit of BD 500
  • a clean container large enough to prevent splashing out (chemical-free)
  • a light-weight but strong stick

Directions:

Stir vigorously in one direction until liquid forms a deep crater. Quickly reverse direction and repeat. Continue this alteration every minute or so for one full hour.

IMPORTANT: For best results, during the last 20 minutes of stirring, add one unit of BD 507 per acre. BD 507 ignites the action of BD 500.

Spraying:

  • Spray as soon as possible after stirring—it deteriorates rapidly if left standing.
  • Spray during the latter part of the day, when the shadows are growing long.
  • To spray with an ordinary sprayer you will need to strain the mixture. For small areas use a bucket and whisk broom. 
  • Spray on soil. Cover about one acre of ground per unit.
  • Always use chemical-free, clean utensils.
  • If possible, spray on soil that has been recently worked and rake lightly afterwards.
  • If 500 has been used in the area before, quantities may be more dilute, increasingly so with each application.

Storage:

Keep moist until used. Part portions may be used, keeping the same proportions and stirring for an hour for the portion.

When to use:

  • Spray shortly before seed sowing or transplanting.
  • Use mainly in the spring or fall.
  • Use during the latter part of the day.
  • Use when there is no wind, preferably on an overcast day.
  • Use when the soil contains some moisture—never in drought. Never just before
    a rain.
