So does that mean it’ll take a year for the charcoal to be beneficial? And will the cows actually eat it?
Pretty neat tip for keeping livestock odor-free. Can you still use the charcoal after that or is it to mixed with other things?
If you don’t inoculate the charcoal first, then it’ll take about a year to be beneficial. If you do inoculate it (which can be as simple as mixing it with some manure and letting it sit for a few days) then it will start benefiting the soil right away. Either way, the long-term benefits will last for years to come.
Mixing it with the animal’s bedding or feeding it to them, accomplishes that at the same time it deodorizes.
Sorry for the confusion, I hope I was clearer this time :)
And cows will eat anything if you mix it in their food.
