FEEDLOT MANURE
$98.00 per t
Unscreened Feedlot Manure is characterized by its unrefined state, containing a natural blend of solid and liquid animal waste collected from commercial livestock feedlots. Unlike screened or processed manure, it includes larger organic matter, such as straw or wood chips used as bedding in animal enclosures, alongside uneaten feed. This composition contributes to its high organic matter content, which, when decomposed, enriches the soil with essential nutrients like nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium. Its application in agriculture not only improves soil fertility and structure but also aids in moisture retention and weed control. While its nutrient content can vary based on the livestock’s diet and the bedding material used, unscreened feedlot manure is generally considered a cost-effective, all-natural fertilizer option for farmers and gardeners aiming to enhance crop yields sustainably.
POPULAR USE CASES
Soil Amendment: Enhances the organic matter content of soils, improving soil structure, aeration, and water retention capabilities.
Fertilization: Supplies essential nutrients to crops, promoting healthy growth and increased yields in agricultural and horticultural practices.
Land Reclamation: Useful in rehabilitating and restoring the fertility of degraded lands and in landscaping applications.
Composting: Acts as a raw material in composting processes, where it is broken down into a more stable, nutrient-rich form that is easier for plants to absorb.
