Natural fertiliser

Kim from Oxford

Just wondering if anyone out there is interested in natural fertiliser?

The below article refers to poultry manure which I am assuming is chicken manure. What many people do not know is that duck manure is the closest to a perfect npk (nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium) ratio of any manure.

This post is basically just wanting to get an idea of whether natural fertiliser is of interest to anyone out there, and if so what their requirements would be for it to be cost efficient and what form(s) it would need to be in to be useful for them, and what quantities and how often they would need for it to be useful?

Also any concerns or questions anyone might have about using natural fertiliser.

I will add a couple of links related to this here for anyone interested to read. There is plenty more info on this which anyone interested can google for themselves and form their own opinion.

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.

This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
.
