Hey, the market for dog shit is growing since there's a looming fertilizer shortage due to the Russian invasion. Growth market... add in a scheme for tax breaks through city clean up initiatives, you may just have an opportunity.
You're supposed to compost any shit before using it as fertilizer. Appling poop directly to a plant is never really a good idea unless you water it down a lot.
Interesting. The grass around the cat shit in my garden always seems to grow much better than the surrounding grass. I'm assuming the cats also eat a carnivorous diet.
It all depends on the plant. Some plants, including grasses, take direct shit great. Others, not so much. It has less to do with the type of shit and more with the type of plant. Most shit is composted before use.
I feel like we should kill 2 birds with one stone: Bats and bat guano.
Guano used to be mined for gunpowder, to the point where the US annexed a few islands after the Guano Islands Act of 1856. If bat guano is usable as fertilizer, we could design some basic guano-collecting bat shelters that act like an automatic litterbox for cats.
The bats get a home, and the equivalent of a flush-toilet, while we get bats, less bugs, and plenty of batshit ideas.
"...and they shall beat their swords into ploughshares, and spears into pruning hooks; nation shall not lift up sword against nation; neither shall they learn war anymore"
> The Atomic Energy Commission (AEC) established the Plowshare Program in June 1957 to explore the peaceful uses of nuclear energy. The program took its name from the Bible (Isaiah 2:4), "they will beat their swords into plowshares."
How much will energy really cost in a world that's "fully" renewable in 10-20 years? Its not much different then all the datacenters built on the Colombia river in Washington state/Oregon so they get cheap hydro-electric power.
The question is will crypto and NFT's push us over the edge before we get to that point. Alongside the thousands of other similar things like people driving large SUV's instead of fuel efficient cars before we go fully electric.
