Gardening without animal fertilisers

[Trouvere]

Figures from the 1980s:
methane production, per animal in kg/year, and total worldwide in millions of tonnes/year:
cattle, 35-55; 54.3
termites, -; 20
sheep, 8; 6.9
goats, 5; 2.4
camels, 58; 1.0 (they're the belchiest of all, it seems)
pigs, 1.2; 0.9
humans, 0.05; 0.3 (they must not know the same people I do)
moose, elk, 31; 0.03.

It seems that cows in the US today produce about 5 times as much methane as the American bison did in its heyday.

Nobodys trying to make anybody vegan. Everybody’s entitled to make choices in what they buy & have reasons behind them,you don’t have the right to judge people like that. Why can’t people be happy for people,they’re doing something they believe in good for them. This thread is about vegan compost I think.

You're right JJ.

This thread is about vegan compost and nobody is forcing anyone to use it, much less to turn vegan. We are all entitled to our own opinions and we should respect that.
