From you buchering opperation, the skin, hair, feathers and guts are high in Nitrogen, the bones can be ground up and will provide a little Nitrogen, plenty of Calicum as well as some Potassium, and Phospherous. If you burn the bone, ( need a hot fire ) it will decrease the amount of N, but, it will make it easier to grind, and if you use hard wood to burn it and use the ashes, you will add more Potassium, as well as some other macro, and, some micro nutrents. Wood ashes has a limeing effect on soil ( but, you need more to obtain the same amount ), but, adds the extra nutrents as well. Check out Kura Clover, at this web site ( I think you will like what you see ), it is about useing Kura Clover as a living mulch: http://agron.scijournals.org/cgi/mjgca?sendit=Get+All+Checked+Abstract%28s%2 9&SEARCHID=1029430130370_860&TITLEABSTRACT=Kura+clover%2CLiving+Mulch+&JOURN ALCODE=&FIRSTINDEX=0&hits=10&RESULTFORMAT=&gca=agrojnl%3B92%2F4%2F698 Greg H. ------------------------ Yahoo!
