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: Have you ever been bullied?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

People associate bullying with children in schools, but it can actually stretch beyond childhood to workplaces or neighbourhoods.

This Friday is Pink Shirt Day, which began in Canada in 2007 when two students took a stand against homophobic bullying after a new student was harassed for wearing pink. People across the globe are now encouraged to wear pink on this day to take a stand against bullying and promote inclusivity.

Have you or your whānau ever experienced bullying? Share your thoughts on Pink Shirt Day below.
