so ive never used cow shit before, but will it be good enough for the entire grow?? can you over-use natural fertilizer?

will i need to add more things to the mix so its good for 1 full grow without adding more nutrients??

thanks.

the spot also has alot of plants growing so im assuming its good soil.

and its too hot for your roots...the sun would cooked that shit and burns your roots, that also goes for chicken shit. the best shit you can get are rabbits shit, go get a rabbit and collect the poop, water from your fish tank, fresh fish blood collect the blood while cleaning fish with water. but make sure to throw the guts out but if you dont mind the fly's you can burry it down the soil, egg shells are good to go aswell. alfalfa feeds for your rabbit and plants at the same time. hmmmm what else...dont use urine it may or may not for best interest of your plant. molasses always works for me and everyone here that uses it on this forum, banana peel? ive tried it, didnt really attract that much insects, i picked the flowers as well and just place it on top of my soil

I use composted cow manure (not fresh) in small anounts to help the humatic acid start benificial microbes growing.
1/2 cup per galon of soil ish.

It kinda sux for fertilizer for me cause its so hot.
I just followed the directions on the bag.
Most things are better IMHO, including Miracal grow.

you need a source of phosphorous like bone meal and kelp meal for potassium, wood ashes too, go easy with cow dung unless it's already rotted.

if you use manure you buy in the bag and mix it in your soil at least 45 days prior you will be fine. i used it last year and it worked good for me. you just need to let it sit for a while after mixing. yes you can over do it with natural fertilizer. if your unsure about how to use organics your best bet might be buying a ready mixed dry fertilizer and add it to the soil with some compost and coco fiber would be good if you can get it. if your sold on using manure i would say that your results will probably be mediocre at best because manure doesnt have all the nutrients your plants will need , phosphorus & potassium in particular. epsoma & dr earth are just a few who make dry organic fertilizer that you could use.
