My read is that Viktor Schauberger was advocating farm implements that were plated with copper but were not made of copper. Frank, et al, - Most cattle feeds are supplemented with copper to the point that are considered to be dangerous to sheep (sheep apparently cannot eliminate cooper appropriately and it eventually becomes toxic in their systems). Does this added copper interfere with the decomposition of cow pies in the pasture? And what about me, BD grower who likes to treat his cows to a bucket or so of feedstore sweetfeed a week (just as he likes to treat himself to a bucket or so of Ben and Jerry's a week, at least until 7 Stars brings out Kimberton Krunch) Is there enough copper blowby in small amounts of feed like that to make that maure inappropirate (counterindicated) for barrel compost? Thanks
