My old man always used year old cow dung on the lawns. They would berm it 2 or 3 feet high and let it winter.
Slightly off topic - but with the run off of your berm, you now have all the ingredients you need to make that loud stuff that some of the old-timers used in their heart pills.
Anywho, I recommended straw because it is brown matter and geometricly porous. Chicknshitz is wet and fine. The straw will add the structure and fluff needed to avoid mechanical packing and anaerobic putricity.
If you have the real estate go wide not deep most of this action happens in the presence of oxygen. Avoid flax straw, that stuff is eternal. - good worm bedding though.
Its bunnies for the win. I got a sweet line on hay. There is an irrigation farmer out here that has a contract to grow throrobred (sp?) race horse feed for Kentucky Derby contestants. Weed free and top notch stuff. The rest of the bunny diet is leafy greens. No seed. No weeds.
Other animals will attempt to produce such a fine product. Even cows have developed four stomachs, to try and compete with my compost machines. Are cows willing to turn around and process that shit twice ? Nope. Bunnies will.
Alfalfa is waaay to hot,,,like spinach. You can xxplod a cow with that stuff.
Fun at the farm. I only look like a city kid.
This thread gets better all the time ! And still on topic.
One more fun fact here.
Not only is bunny soil good directly in garden soil , bunny turd is also acceptable an acceptable food supply for tilapia.
For real.
Bunny shits in fish, fish shits in plants, buds go boom.
I will put my sweet turds up against any recipie.
Ther is only one other critter I can think of that may out do my sweet Æthena.
Muskeg swamps build peat and constantly acidify thier biome.
@Uncle Romulus could you plant a green flag in a big old moose turd for me? The high cellulose and low Ph may sprout a tree.
