Gee-up is the product of composting horse manure in the old fashioned way using time and allowing nature to take its course breaking down the manure and bedding until it produces a fine texture. The majority of the bedding is wood shavings.

We use manure from local riding stables and make windrows which are regularly turned to aerate and mix. This keeps the temperature high for several months, well above 60C at its peak.

When it is ready it is brought inside to assist drying .

The next stage of the journey is to seive, bag and seal, pallet and wrap, then deliver.

The seiving process is accomplished by way of a purpose built machine, the purchase of this was aided by the South Cork Enterprise Board. The design was acheived by a great deal of trial and error. Horse manure being a very particular consistancy, a machine with very specific charicteristics was required!

For horse manure, at present, there is no process for formal EU Organic Certification.
