cow manure qualities
    #12569189 - 05/15/10 07:50 PM (14 years, 8 months ago)

Hello folks!

1 more cow manure question sorry

I am in need of some assistance

I know that cow manure is not the best thing to use but...

I found a 120lb bag for 8 bucks on craigslist from a farm

It acts exactly like dirt, SMELLS LIKE DIRT, feels like dirt

no ammonia smell at all

did i get ripped off and sold soil?

or does that sound right.

Now since it was supposedly aged already would i need to "leach" it or...


I was planning on pasteurizing by baking in a lasagna pan at 170 for 3 hours.

Read that on here somewhere...

sound good, and feed back would be appreciated

thanks a bunch yall

thanks,

thats what i had been reading about cow manure, that its to dense.

But does it sound like i got what i payed for, manure and not dirt.

and is that an effective way of pasteurization,

baking at 170 in a foil pan for 3 hours?



using pink oysters on rye

with hopefully about a 20% to 30% mix of the manure to the rest straw.

In a basket

Thanks again for the input!!!

If you're growing oysters, skip the compost and go straight to straw.  You don't pasteurize in the oven. Chop your straw and place it in a pot of water to soak for twelve hours or so.  Then, heat the water to between 140F and 160F and hold it there for 1 to 1 1/2 hours.

If you're growing cubensis, you can mix that compost into a bright, but shady spot outdoors.  Inoculate with grains or brf cakes.  It's not the best to use since cubensis is a primary decomposer, but it will work better than just the cakes by themselves.  The best use for that composted manure is to put around your flower beds.

Much obliged for the timely reply RR.

I am familiar with your teks and appreciate the info you have put out.


But I figured i might try and experiment with a partial manure mix.

But i will take your word for it.

So i spose its horse or bust...



With night time temps of 40f would either species be able to survive?

And strait grain spawn to cow manure would do the trick outside, interesting info


Again thanks for the help
