Mechanization of agricultural fields, many of them protected by large areas of greenhouses and similar materials are proliferating in the nutrients of fertilizers in an intense variety of by-products of chemical origins that are really giving “one of lime and the other of sand” in the true needs and development in the plants of the agricultural world.
One of these materials known for thousands of years is “natural manure” which is a mixture of animal excrement and the remains of useless or decomposing plants, After a meticulous manufacturing process, an exquisite natural fertilizer rich in nitrogen is extracted and is perhaps the best organic fertilizer for most of our plants, as well as in other materials, it is also rich and beneficial in microbial flora..
But everything has its time and the mechanization of artificial fertilizers is putting the excellence and virtues of natural manure on the back burner and how times change., There is less and less natural manure so “expensive and laborious to prepare”, It has always been said that agricultural land well fertilized with natural manure (whatever the plants) they bear excellent fruit, It is worth remembering that in many countries there are also natural fertilizers known as “guano” and others with similar characteristics.
Today the veteran farmers “Creoles of the land and where there are fewer and fewer” who have a piece of farmland and their own livestock (the classic cows, goats and sheep) It's nice to see your vegetables, pastures and fruit trees that receive natural nutrients based on the classic natural manure fertilizer, relatively large agricultural companies use other fertilizer procedures for their lands, mainly due, as i said before, how expensive natural manure is.
Until recently (20/30 years) There was a lot of manure and the farmers and ranchers in the towns sold at low prices. “laughable” those big baskets of manure to later sell them (the intermediaries) to the highest bidder, hence the decline of these processes that had prominence and glory yesterday and continue like this, soon “will sleep the sleep of the righteous” and our agricultural fields will be fertilized with…
