Green Manure and Animal Manure questions

15 years ago

1. Are there any chemical differences between the organic Nitrogen produced by plant vs. animal manures?

Does the Nitrogen in both release at a comparable rate?

2. As I understand it, organic (plant/animal) nitrogen is slow release. I know that animal manures are also considered "hot" when they are first deffocated, and are best used after being aged for some time.

3. What makes some animal manures (like chicken) so "Hot"?

Is it the actual concentration of Nitrogen per pound?

Is it the actual physical heat given off during the decomposing process?

TIA (Thanks in advance!)
