Ernie:
The trick would be to "wash out" the soluble stuff, ammonia, nitrates,
etc with water, save that water and allow it to evaporate into a
concentrated manure tea to use for fertilizer..
you would use for an evaporation tank........ or simply spray the liquid
onto your lawn and garden for fertilizer as it is. There are two
products here...... fiber and fertilizer..
an excellent fertilizer as it not only carries nitrates and such, but
has fiber that lightens and aerates the soil.
"excrete" is preferable to "S__tcrete", "manurecrete"
but I propose dropping the E and making it "X-crete"...
