Excerpt from Report on Natal Botanic Gardens, and Colonial Herbarium: For the Year 1900 Stable manure Should never be used on pines - mo matter how thoroughly rotted. I mean by stable manure the droppings from horses and mules nor Should that from poultry, except as a liquid dissolved in water. The manure from cows and oxen may be used with Splendid results.
