It has been aerobically composted at temperatures approaching 160° F for over four months. Low in moisture content and salts, Back to Nature, Inc. COMPOSTED CATTLE MANURE is nearly odor-free.

Cattle manure is a natural fertilizer and important food source for beneficial soil organisms. These organisms help to make
nutrients available to plants, aerate the soil, and help to keep harmful organisms and pathogens in check

We start with cotton burrs from short staple cotton grown on the High Plains of Texas. Unlike cotton grown in other parts of the United States, short staple cotton must be stripper picked, a method that produces a large amount of cotton burrs through the ginning process. The fleshy cotton burr is important because it is the primary repository of nutrients. Cotton burrs contain a significant amount of NPK (nitrogen, phosphate, potassium), the three macro nutrients required by plants, as well as
numerous micro nutrients. Cotton burrs have a carbon-nitrogen (C/N) ratio of 22:1, eliminating the nitrogen tie-up caused by
using wood and wood-based soil amendments.
