What is manure fertilizer? Why use it as fertilizer? How to make it?

In the whole organic fertilizer manufacturing, manure is the most widely used raw material for the production. The main raw materials for commercial organic fertilizer production includes animal manure, municipal sewage sludge, garbage, candy pomace, crop stalks, paper filter mud, food and fermentation organic industrial waste, etc.

Why use manure fertilizers?

Proper use of manure and compost is essential from both a production and environmental standpoint. Applying rates that are too low can lead to nutrient deficiency and low yields. On the other hand, too high a rate can lead to nitrate leaching, phosphorus runoff, accelerated eutrophication of lakes, and excessive vegetative growth of some crops. Thus, understanding how to manage manure is important for any farming operation with livestock that relies on manure as a major source of nutrients, as well as for vegetable producers who have access to an economical supply of manure, compost, or other organic nutrient sources.

How to Make Organic Fertilizer?

As for organic fertilizer production, you can use fast composting. Fast composting  is a composting technique used by many biodynamic farmers. A pit of 1m height, 1m width and 1m length is prepared. The length of the pit can be increased according to the space available in your garden and your compost requirement. The pit is filled in with a thin layers of leaves, manure, and straws. Water is added after adding each layer. You can also add some soil between these layers. The pile should be turned regularly to keep it aerated. Compost turning facility is the necessary machine in this process. You can use it to mix and turn the raw materials. It takes 7-15 days for the whole composting.

How can the manure fertilizer improve the soil?

Manure and compost not only supply many nutrients for crop production, including micronutrients, but they are also valuable sources of organic matter. Increasing soil organic matter improves soil structure or tilth, increases the water-holding capacity of coarse-textured sandy soils, improves drainage in fine-textured clay soils, provides a source of slow release nutrients, reduces wind and water erosion, and promotes growth of earthworms and other beneficial soil organisms. Most vegetable crops return small amounts of crop residue to the soil, so manure, compost, and other organic amendments help maintain soil organic matter levels.
