HOWEVER:
Making compost with a significant portion of the
initial ingredient being livestock manure. REMEMBER
that livestock manure from livestock nourished with
well prepared grain formulas with a good list of added
mineral nutrients will help add the minerals to the
compost. Even if you debate the mineral formulas in
the animal grains being "non-bioavailable" the
composting process producing higher levels of humus
should make these minerals that have passed through
the digestive tract of the livestock become
bioavailable to the plants being grown in the soil
prepared with generous levels of compost produced from
livestock manures and thus the minerals will be
bio-available in the crop when consumned by you and
your family.
