For nitrogen I'd spread 'your friend and mine' - good old blood

And you get this from where?, he said with reservations.

I have no idea since I don't live in the US. If I did, I suspect
I'd be looking for it under a different name, like blood meal or
bone meal or somesuch.

I wasn't sure, if that was what you meant, or the inedible remains of
slaughtered animals.


Well I do know people who have very large shredding machine who pick
up roadkill (eg dead roos, wombats etc), shove the roadkill through
the shredder and then throw in either cardboard boxes or hay bales to
clean out the lingering remains. I guess that would achieve a
similar result.


Do they run a soup kitchen?

Just saw a few minutes on TV on how they recycle the waste food from
Las Vegas a very small USA city. Trucked away looking like garbage
cooked and stirred and called slop. Then transferred to a pig farm.
Got me thinking about Prions (Bacon to Bacon) and fasting tonight.

Whew..
