Synthetic NPK (Nitrogen, Phosphorus and Potassium) fertilisers put the natural balance of Ca/Mg/P out of balance and lock up minerals. They provide short term growth at the expense of long term health.
Grazing animals require a variety of minerals for their physical and mental well being.
Manure management
When raising animals of any description, manure is a fact of life.
Managing the manure is an important part of property management. The Law of Returns says that what we take from the soil we must put back. Our grazing animals take from the soil in the form of the pasture that they consume. Their manure goes part of the way to putting back what they take out.
Depending on the size of the property, and the number and size of paddocks available, people may choose a number of different strategies to best utilise their animal’s manure.
Those people with limited room and small paddocks may choose to collect their manure in order to maximise their grazing space. The manure could then be processed into natural liquid fertilizer, composted in order to return the nutrients to the paddock at a later date, or spread on to a resting paddock.
People with larger paddocks may choose to have their manure spread around the paddock where it falls.
Composting manure with the aid of composting worms will not only provide a nutrient rich resource, but also one that is rich in beneficial microbial activity.
More often than not a combination of all of these strategies is used at different times of the year, and through different climatic conditions.
Faster Pasture can provide for each of these needs through the use of either a paddock harrow or a manure vacuum system.
