Question about fertilizers.

Concentration is 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. Yes he said that (amongst other things). Then he asks me,"How do you know there are no salts in lucerne meal?" Yes he also asked you that too. 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? Sigh. I don't know and I don't care either. I've never yet burned any plant with chicken poop, and that is whether I've taken a pile of it straight from under the night perch or just used yard scrapings. And I'll bet David or you haven't burned plants with chook poop either. My beef was about the introduction of the strawman when it is obvious that David was talking about concentrations of manure. It is because we understand concentrations that we haven't burned anything despite decades of gardening. Strawmen are becoming a bete noir with me as seemingly they are becoming the new vogue all over usenet - I'm beginning to think the origin of it must result from infected water or some viral disease. |
