I would think non-carnivorous animal poop would be best for planting...

My fitness coach puts her dog's poop in her garden sometimes...
But honestly, I don't think it does much for plants?

Like... imagine watering your plants with animal blood or melted animal fat.

Maybe that's not how plants work, but I would think that mostly veggie based poo would work the best with plants. Like compost, you know?

littl3chocobo 11-04-2019 07:05 PM

meat or veg-eating doesn't really mean anything on it's own. it's more what the plant needs, assuredly most dogs have a really poor diet(as most dogs are fed commercial dog kibble which is pretty bad) so i wouldn't recommend it for much XD though there has been a fair bit of luck with cows as theirs lines up better with the type of garden plants a lot of people use, worm is popular too with veg and ornamental flowers but like i said the plant is important and has different chemical needs based on what it is and where it is planted

Mekatra 11-04-2019 07:05 PM

Blood and bone meal is actually a very good fertilizer for plants that like phosphorus and nitrogen.

Goat poop doesn't make very good fertilizer because they have really efficient digestive systems and they strip most of the nutrients out of their food. You have to be careful with chicken poop because there are actually so many nutrients and ammonia in it that it can burn your plants.

littl3chocobo 11-04-2019 07:08 PM

i've heard that about chickens, though not about goats

Mekatra 11-04-2019 07:10 PM

I didn't know about it until I lived on a goat farm for a while and had a conversation with the vet about goat anatomy haha.

littl3chocobo 11-04-2019 07:12 PM

do you have any other neat goat facts? owo

Kory 11-04-2019 07:12 PM

That makes sense!

I didn't think about the type of plants :o
I know usually, I use compost for my veggies and herbs. Like, when I juice, I take the pulp and put it in with my plants.

But those are probably much different than other plants like flowers and things like that

littl3chocobo 11-04-2019 07:14 PM

yeah, the dietary needs of plants vary widely though having a good all'rounder compost is always a good thing for edibles ^^

mdom 11-04-2019 07:23 PM

Some women use the blood from their menstrual cups on their gardens!

I won't do that to choco-potato though

littl3chocobo 11-04-2019 07:25 PM

thankyou for that ;x; ladies are swell but that's a bit too much for poor choco

Kory 11-04-2019 07:27 PM

Ooo! That sounds interesting!

I use a menstrual cup myself. I've been considering collecting the blood for a while. But since I'm in an apartment right now, I decided against it. We only have two bathrooms, and when people visit, I'd rather them not see a jar of my menstrual blood when they need to use the toilet lol

I do feel like the menstrual blood would make my veggies and herbs sad :(

mdom 11-04-2019 07:27 PM

So my poop is ok but my blood is where you cross the line????

ok.

Mekatra 11-04-2019 07:38 PM

It is not a neat fact, but billy goats pee on their beards to attract lady goats. They also um... "clean" themselves....if you catch my meaning...

They are believed to be the first animal that humans domesticated and we have been tending goats as a species for over 9000 years

littl3chocobo 11-04-2019 07:41 PM

so what sort of plants do you guys grow? we have mint and roses and zinnia and succulents in our garden(though most of it has gone for the winter at this point)

littl3chocobo 11-04-2019 07:41 PM

dude, i am sure anything that can reach would x''D

mdom 11-04-2019 07:45 PM

That goat fact... goats, what's ur issue

Mekatra 11-04-2019 07:47 PM

In the summer we grow mostly salad greens, broccoli, snap peas, cannabis and a variety of kitchen herbs. At my elevation we have a really short growing season so things like tomatoes, squash and cabbages don't do super well. We tried red cabbage this year and the ones we managed to grow were smaller around than my palm lol

littl3chocobo 11-04-2019 07:50 PM

have you tried hot-housing? a bit of clearish tarp or glass over the boxes can do wonders if you make sure to let the plants breathe a little. we grew forearm-length cucumbers that way and fed all the local caterpillars and mantasis XD

Mekatra 11-04-2019 07:53 PM

Yeah, the problem is that we just don't get enough sunlight here once fall sets in and even during the summer it still can drop down to 40F degrees at night.

mdom 11-04-2019 07:58 PM

That sounds so nice, Mekatra

I'm just saying that because I've been living a 100F nightmare, of course

littl3chocobo 11-04-2019 07:59 PM

the covering helps with the temps actually, not sure what to do if there is too little light to grow things

Mekatra 11-04-2019 08:02 PM

Without the longer sunlight exposure the soil just never gets warm enough for some plants. That's okay though. We just learn to plant what we can. Some things work, some don't. That's life.

We had 8 inches of snow the day before Halloween, mdom lol

littl3chocobo 11-04-2019 08:05 PM

that is fair

i wonder if there are any edible low-light plants?

mdom 11-04-2019 08:13 PM

I've never seen snow, so I'd love to see that xDDD

littl3chocobo 11-04-2019 08:15 PM

snow is so lovely but you have to be ok with wet. snow is sooooo wet

Mekatra 11-04-2019 08:20 PM

When it is the dead of winter here is the best snow time because it is SO cold that the snow is all nice and powdery instead of wet and slushy. Doesn't help you when it melts of course, but it is much nicer than humid snow.

A lot of people around here complain about it, but I love it. The mountains are prettier and everything just seems softer and quieter.

littl3chocobo 11-04-2019 08:52 PM

not to mention cleaner. you cannot see as much of the general muck that is on so much stuff XD

Kory 11-04-2019 09:00 PM

I loove the sparkly snow the best!

My house had a random lamp post in the front yard and when it got dark, that lamp post would light up the snow and make it look sparkly!

Also, I liked to pretend my house was in Narnia because of that lamp post.

littl3chocobo 11-04-2019 09:05 PM

it kind of sounds a little lonely though

KittyBeary 11-04-2019 09:20 PM

I wish it snowed here. x( (stupid central CA)

mdom 11-04-2019 09:46 PM

I'm ok with wet.
It's also very dry here

littl3chocobo 11-04-2019 09:59 PM

it's pretty wet here. mold is an issue

mdom 11-04-2019 10:05 PM

hmmm you need more ventilation. I'll bring a wall down

littl3chocobo 11-04-2019 10:32 PM

hahaha, nooo! it is wetter outside XD

mdom 11-04-2019 10:42 PM

Fine, fine, then I'll get you more fans!

littl3chocobo 11-04-2019 10:59 PM

and a tea towel XD

It got very lonely during the winters. :(
Oftentimes, we'd get snowed in overnight and it would take all morning to shovel the driveway...
And there was nothing but white for what felt like miles and miles.

It would get so bad sometimes that my parents would postpone my birthday parties sometimes until March or April because the snow would be really bad in my birth month January and since we lived in the woods and it was often really hard for people to find our home and if they did, it was even harder to find parking in the dark and in the snow. :(

littl3chocobo 11-04-2019 11:23 PM

i hope you at least got your gift(s) on time?
