[Digestion] After the Tank.

Fri Feb 17 05:46:51 CST 2012

Regarding the manure after the tank is an interesting issue.
I would like to offer; the manure is no longer so.
Anything that passes through a microbes gut has to be very refined, to say 
the least. These tiny creatures convert organic matter into colloidal 
materials ideally suited to direct ingestion by plantlife -directly.
Admittedly, extraneous materials such as fiber and other debris needs to be 
excluded. The end result being fulvic and humic acids, the life giving 
elements of plants and many other creatures.
The gas generated by bio-conversion is but a bonus. The resultant fluid is 
the life force for plants. It is the basis for sustainable agriculture.
What goes into a bio-reactor is derived from plant matter. What comes out is 
ideally suited to plant-life.
