Your tomatoes will take off like a rocket ship, your roses will be bloomin’ marvellous and if you rubbed it on a bald head who knows what would happen!
The Perth Lions Club members reckon their composted cow manure can grow anything, and being odour-free, weed-free and organic it’s a must for every home gardener.
Club president Butch Leighton has been leading a weekly bunch of baggers preparing the poo for delivery as their club’s major fundraiser of the year.
They willingly and at their own expense deliver the compost in the Northern Midlands and Launceston area for free for any orders of five bags or more. Cost is $7 per bag.
“What a lot of people do is organise with a friend or neighbour to share an order so that it’s delivered to the door,” Butch said.
“Every cent from every bag sold goes into community projects such as to provide bursaries for schools in Evandale, Perth, Longford and Campbell Town, to put on a Christmas party for kids at the Train Park in Perth and to give a hand to anyone when they come to us in need,” he said.
Perth Lions Club members are also well regarded for their work looking after the gates at Campbell Town Show and providing a Santa for the Eskleigh Christmas barbecue.
Recently they commissioned a stunning metal silhouette that has been erected on Gibbett’s Hill near Perth.
With the black gold in huge demand and spring gardens being prepared the best tip is get in quick by placing an order with Carol on 0488 184 147.
