Chicken and rabbit manure can be toxic to plants, as can alfalfa meal,

everything.

Agreed.


Are you suggesting that there is too much salt in chook poo, and that is
why it can burn plants?


It's bleedingly obvious that he's not saying that. Your strawman is silly.


Fran, Booby, first David said that the cause of fertilizer burning was
concentrated salts. Then he asks me,"How do you know there are no salts
in lucerne meal?" The ONLY cause of fertilizer burn that David addressed
was salt (any freakin' kind of salt). To what do you ascribe the ability
of chook poo to burn plants? Hmmmm?

G'day.

Mad dog Republicans to the right. Democratic spider webs to the left. True conservatives, and liberals not to be found anywhere in the phantasmagoria
of the American political landscape.

America is not broke. The country is awash in wealth and cash.
It's just that it's not in your hands. It has been transferred, in the
greatest heist in history, from the workers and consumers to the banks
and the portfolios of the uber-rich.
