Default Rehabilitating Soil

The manure has substantial amounts of nutrients. It is 2-1-2 by dry
weight. The OP needs something like half a ton. That is 10 lbs of
nitrogen right there. And of course there is plenty of calcium. Imagine
drying and burning all that manure. The leftover ash (several pounds)
is 50% calcium.
