- Nourish your garden with composted manure from  Bowen Island horses.

- Return your empty manure bags to us – we’ll reuse them.

Why not buy local manure as a green alternative to driving to town to buy it at a big box store?  At the same time you can make Bowen Island more sustainable. Horse manure is high in Nitrogen, moderate in Phosphorus and high in potash and you can get it from the horses you see and enjoy.

BIHORA sells composted manure which is ready to apply directly to your garden. Some uses of horse manure compost are: as mulch around your landscaping and garden plants; as a soil amendment for sandy or clay soil and as great food for your plants. Come early so you don’t miss out.
