Guest guest Posted May 27, 2000 Report Share Posted May 27, 2000 Hare Krsna Samba prabhu, I have got a connection once again, but I will now only be able to contribute on what I consider to be the most important issues on this conference - Agriculture and the Environment. from Samba: >The >foolish government is also engaged in exporting cow dung under the pressure >from the foreign nations. >According to one of the notification of the Ministry of Agriculture >12,95,80,000 hectare land has become barren and to restore this land only >cow dung is the remedy. As previously discussed we can increase the output of any cow or bull by eightfold.....through proper composting techniques. The benefit of this dilution is not only increased quantity. It is increased quality. The manurial value of Indore compost is at least three times that of ordinary cow dung...When one considers the effects of food grown on this material as was discovered and recorded later I.E. in the Living Soil, by Lady Eve Balfour one realises this is in fact an understatement. Cow dung is like acid in that it is more effective when it is diluted. "If the dung is left where it is dropped ..the rains drive concentrated liquid manure into the soil and cause rank growth which even a starving animal hesitates to eat." (Newman Turner) from the Lost Science of Organic Cultivation page104 "There is no more soil in India with which to feed the growing population" (Friend Sykes, 1950) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
