COMPOST vs RAW MANURE

Properly prepared compost provides a rich store of both nutrients and biology. Good compost is a great soil amendment that feeds your plants and reinforces your biological workforce.

Discover the importance of biological activity to the growth and health of your plants by watching our "Creating CO2 to Maximize Growing Systems" video series.

Thank you! This helps very much in understanding why compost is much better than raw manure.
Your presentation is quite good, because voice comes together over text and picture.

Magnificent video! Great way to breakdown the differences between manure and compost! I learned a lot. I used to think they were more similar than they are.

Thanks for letting me know that aerobic composting biology is superior. I am adopting aerobic manuring and was doubtful. 😊

Excellent video, great delivery, and packed with information. I do hope you will make more!

[GRPermie]

Very well done, I love the animations to go along with the lesson. Great production value.

Can you do a video on how to properly compost manure?

[johnroydelacruz]

I appreciate this short informative video😊

[laurenmuller]

This is such a helpful video. Please could you supply some textual references for this material.

Thanks for the great information suppose the raw pure manure is left to break down for couple of months?

[murtaghslawncare.]

This is so interesting and informative. Do you have any information on your company ?

[taylanican]

Thank you for this useful and very informative video.

This is somewhat misleading - anaerobic decomposition (fermentation) does not automatically produce pathogens. See the benefits of "bokashi" (fermented biological materials).

How about manuer at the place have ben made? They ackt like conpous

The reduced form of elements being preferable must also explain why plants prevent a neutral to even basic pH in the soil sometimes. For instance Ca is best absorbed in an alkaline environment.

So, in a cover crop field, would it be better for the soil, to either graze the covers down using livestock, or mow the covers and plant through them? (bearing in mind the negative effects of manure)

[GlacialRidgeHomestead]

So non-composted goat poo laid down on the dirt without composting is bad? We used it to cover weeds in between rows in our garden. Can we compost it after it’s been sitting a long time?

[clement]

Can I sprinkle/spread composted manure on an existing lawn? Instead of using fertilizer? Will that be able to enter soil? I don't want a bowling green monocrop lawn but just healthy plants from a healthy soil

[jablot]

What happens to all the chemicals/growth hormones etc fed to animals ?

What is the best compost available to buy in the uk? As in the best biological life and bacteria

we have a area 54 by 84 normal peat moss black dirt on top clay under that . i am digging 10 feet deep adding wet manure and rotted down manure and mixing. i cant find the bottom of the clay. i can reach 15 feet deep. our goal is to let sit 1 year and keep mixing. them lab testing. what is your opinion
