My grandparents owned a farm. I grew up surrounded by farms. So, yes, I've not just "been to" farms, I've worked on them. Have you? "Been to" implies that you view them as a destination, sort of like Disney World, so I'll say not.
You're tying yourself up into knots, trying to prove some strange point here. Dung is not a living creature, LomanBill. Not in my world. Think. Try to understand even that which you reject.
It does contain about 20% living bacteria (mostly E. coli)by weight. They are needed and produce a vitamin (K I think) that is needed by humans. Ever get the runs when taking antibiotics? That's caused by the antibiotic killing off a lot of the bacteria in your gut. A big problem occurs when your appendix ruptures, filling your peritoneum with bacteria. Soil is mostly worm poop. The best fertilizer is dung. When we eat plants, we are eating dung that waas processed by plants.
>> so I’ll say not.
Incorrectly.
>>Dung is not a living creature, LomanBill
Dung is FILLED with living, and previously living, organisms.
Did it Decay in the garden?
What happened when leaves fell off the trees? Did they only start growing new ones after the fall?
