Product Facts and Usage

Facts:
As you know, or would have deducted, Sheep manure comes from sheep.
An adult sheep’s diet consists mainly of grass, clover, and water. Manure is made up of 3 major nutrients, Nitrogen (N) 3%. Phosphorus (P) 2%, and Potassium (K) 5%. Nitrogen stimulates thick, rich green growth of plants. Phosphorus stimulates early root maturity and promotes seed growth. Potassium maintains overall plant health and aids in forming beautiful healthy blooms.
Sheep manure improves the soil structure and increases microbial and earthworm activity in the soil. In addition to Nitrogen, Phosphorus, and Potassium, it provides a full range of natural trace elements.

Sheep Manure can be applied at any time of the year, it may be dug into the soil 2 weeks prior to planting or added when planting takes place.

How to use it:

Trees and Shrubs (New) Apply several handfuls at planting time, mixing evenly with existing soil.

(Existing) Apply enough to cover the soil 2 or 3cms deep, to drip line off the plants.

Vegetable and Flower Gardens. Dig in several spadefuls per square metre, making sure to mix thoroughly with existing soil.

Containers. Sheep Manure is ideal to add to outdoor containers as a mulch and to enrich the potting mix. Just sprinkle around the top of the container and water in well.

As a liquid nutrient. For established plants mix in 1kg of manure in 10 litres of water, and apply as a liquid manure.

Remember- Thomanure is only $5 a Bag.

Company History

Thomanure™ was begun in 1994. Its founder started selling sheep manure then aged 14, in order to raise funds for a music tour to Tonga; thanks to his grandfather's suggestion.

After the tour, business lay low for a couple of years, until 1996. The founder had just been part of a Young Enterprise company at school, which had not done so well, selling Childrens' party kits. With this lose to inspire him, he decided to resume selling sheep manure due to its strong demand.

From 1996 through to the end of 1999, Thomanure enjoyed a steady amount of sales (for a hobby enterprise). Unfortunately it came to an end when the founder's family sold their farm and moved to town.

At the end of 2000, and beginning of 2001 the founder was just completing his Bachelor of Business at the Waikato Institute of Technology. To finish he did a paper on E-Marketing, which required the design of a website. The founder decided that this business would be an ideal basis for that.

In October 2005, the founder, after creating a weblog for a diary of his pending travel to Japan, decided it would be a good idea to resurrect the "demonstration" website for fun.
