All You Need To Know About Detonate

WHAT’S IN THE BAG? Detonate™

100% natural sheep manure, proudly collected from New Zealand sheep farms and carefully dried so it’s easy to handle, easy to spread, and easy on the nose. It has no additives, is crumbly and easily worked into the garden soil or spread on top of the surface.

Each batch is NPK tested to ensure the nutrient status is consistent and will deliver on the Detonate promise. In addition each batch is germination tested weed free as part of the Detonate quality control.

Detonate is a quality product that feeds your soil, wakes up your plants, and delivers slow‑release goodness — without paying extra for pellets.

HOW TO USE

Below are guidelines only. The amount of Detonate you use can be scaled up if the soil needs more nourishment. For example one customer - Mary, used a bucket of Detonate around her rose bush in winter (shown below) and the results in the spring were explosive.

Be careful with seedlings not to overdo the application rate, Detonate is rich in nutrients and may be too rich if over used.

  • Garden Beds and Borders: Sprinkle 2 – 4 cups per square meter, lightly work into the soil, then water in.

  • Vegetables & Flowers: Apply before planting or as a top‑dress during the growing season.

  • Trees & Shrubs: Spread around the drip line (not against the trunk) and water well.

  • Lawns: Apply lightly and evenly. Water in after use. Avoid heavy application that completely covers the grass.

    Tip: If dusty, lightly dampen the product in bag before spreading.
