Yikes, I didn’t think of that!
I live across the road from a pig farm. That’s even worse...though they’re switching over to more cows than pigs now, thank goodness! Cow chit is palpable compared to pig, in my “country bumpkin” opinion. ;)
Isn’t it odd, though? Our “backwards” ancestors knew what to do with every scrap of an animal, from the “Moooo” to the manure. Shows once again how far removed we are from the Natural World today. And it only took two short generations! :(
I read an article on composting animals the other day. It was pretty interesting. A local guy gives a lecture on it; I hope to catch it one day.
As for now, if I have a dead hen I just toss her in the woods and the coyotes do the rest.
Works like a charm. :)
