Seed number 2 not w

Srry guys this is seed number w and it just stops growing at day 5. Both seeds are not happy. Back to the drawing boards. I'm not giving up I think there's something to be said here. In my next attempt I will try flushing the salts from the cow patty before use.

Happy camper

I got excited and posted the pic It has just cracked the surface.

Looks like we have lift off. This is the seed I dropped in only cow poop nothing else.

I guess Its still a guess Cause every one says I can't But everything im reading for myself says why not.

So I'm saying fresh cow dung is high nitrogen. But the organic nitrogen is mostly locked up and unavailable. The ammonia is highly available but the sun bakes it off Nitrites are so insignificant because there where no use of fertilizers on cow feed. Plus the sun does remove nitrates.

Also No Nitrates were found.

True This has been sun baked there are no pathogens. I did do a test on run off No coli form No e coli No ammonia

Again I could be very wrong. I'm sure when people mention not using fresh compost that's because it has already begun aging its not fresh at this point and needs to age longer. Even when I do a quick Google search on fresh manure the issue that comes up is potential pathogens not burning. And...

If a farmer wants to grow a cover crop if covering s field he can feed the cows clover. The clover seeds in the poop will germinate Thats how farmers in some regions like India do it. The difference is the cows here.

I see what your saying In nature you don't see seeds germinating in a cow patty. Thats a good point.
