  1. RE: mastodon.me.uk/@telred17/11713

    Hull played this match very smartly. Compact and aggressive on defense, willing to accept a bit more possession when they had the ball and took maximum advantage of the two true chances to score they had. #ManUre were wasteful throughout and I doubt they had any significant xG chances. #FediFC

  4. Even in grass-based systems like Ireland, the #livestock sector is a net consumer of nitrogen from #fertiliser and the negligible use of #manure on cropland cannot address structural fertiliser dependency: doi.org/10.5281/zeno... #grassfed #dairy #beef #cattle

  5. The EU depends on imported #fertiliser, as shown again by the war in Iran. But manure—suggested by some as solution—cannot replace mineral fertiliser because the #livestock sector itself is a net consumer of it. Scaling up #manure “production” would increase fertiliser use: doi.org/10.1111/1746... +

  6. Improving #manure management can help lower #fertilizer demand, but addressing inefficiencies does not address the structural imbalance of #nitrogen flows in animal production and its dependency on fertiliser imports in the #EU.

  7. Which is better for building #soil organic matter, organic or conventional #farming? Organic farming is unique in banning synthetic inputs, not in its use of #organic amendments—conventional farms also use #manure & compost and can build soil just as well: csanr.wsu.edu/what-actuall... #fertilizer

  8. Well, I *was* going to finish emptying out one of the composters so I can start a new batch (I still might get it done if the rain let's up). Just picked up some #manure and straw mix from one of the local farmers to help get things cooking!

  10. Shovelled four bags of well rotted manure for delivery to keen gardeners tomorrow, one doesn't know it's coming and so I'll just leave it on the doorstep and send him a message saying, left you a big bag of shit :-) It really is great for growing plants though, maybe 4 years rotted straw dung and urine bovine, riddled with worms and all that. #manure #gardening #spring

  11. 6 Ways #GoatFarming Impacts the Environment That Support #Sustainability

    Excerpts: "Goats produce significantly less #methane than #cattle, emitting approximately 5 kg of methane annually compared to 70-120 kg from cows. Their efficient digestive systems extract more nutrients from fibrous plant material while generating fewer greenhouse gases. This lower methane output makes goats a more climate-friendly protein source, especially when raised on marginal lands unsuitable for crop production.

    [...]

    "Goats offer a chemical-free alternative for controlling #InvasivePlant species that threaten native #ecosystems. Their unique browsing habits target woody plants and weeds that other livestock avoid, effectively reducing invasives like #kudzu, poison ivy, and multiflora rose without #herbicides. You’ll find that targeted goat grazing preserves soil health and protects beneficial insects and microorganisms that chemical treatments typically harm.

    [...]

    "Goat #manure offers exceptional #composting potential due to its pellet form and balanced nutrient profile. When properly composted, these droppings transform into valuable organic fertilizer rich in nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium. The composting process eliminates pathogens while preserving beneficial microorganisms that enhance soil structure. You’ll find that goat manure composts faster than cow manure—typically ready in 2-3 months versus 4-6 months for cattle waste."
