Pig Manure
« on: May 05, 2011, 20:29 »
Hi All,

I have a new machine that takes out the dry content from liquid pig slurry.  It seems to be a really uniform, dry, slightly fibrous product.  I am going to get it tested to see exactly what nutrient analysis it contains, but a usual analysis for such a product would be:

Nitrogen - 6 or 7kg/ton
Phospate - 6 kg/t
Potash - 8 kg/t
Sulpher - 3.4 kg/t
Magnesium - 1.8 kg/t

Does anyone have any experience of using products like this in the gardening field?  I know how well it makes my crops grow but what about veg/flowers/shrubs etc, as its pretty powerful stuff! (Although not quite as powerful as Poultry manure I believe)

Any help would be appreciated thanks!

See this page on the main website which might help a little.
I try to take one day at a time, but sometimes several days all attack me at once...

I have no idea what your treated/dried/purefied product might do but when I kept a few pigs, we would grow veg on the land they had cleared and manured for us the previous season, and we had very good results with our veg, broad beans, french beans, curly kale, potatoes, turnips, onions are the ones I remember particularly.
