Curry Comb and Brush for Winter Animal Care
The curry comb and brush gently pamper animals to improve skin function and coat protection. Regular use aids health and appearance, especially in winter, by helping deter parasites and keeping fur resilient against cold weather.
Light Manure Spreading for Better Yields
Spread manures and green manures lightly both by hand or spreader to save material. Heavy coats are unnecessary as lands often perform better with two light coverings than one heavy. Since decay is downward, keeping matter near the surface longer yields better results.
