Cow and assorted other manures


In response to Sonya and for anyone else who may have a source of manure
here is the table from the Encyclopedia of Organic Gardening published by
Rodale Press.  This is lbs of nutrient per ton of manure and I believe its
fresh manure exclusive of any bedding.

      Source
     Nitrogen
     Phosphate
     Potash

      Cattle
     10
     2.7
     7.5

      Horse
     14.9
     4.5
     13.2

      Poultry
     29.9
     14.3
     7

      Sheep

      Swine
     12.9
     7.1

I hope this helps.
