Manure talk

This article is for George, Paul, Bill and the rest of the Smith River guys who got to carry out one of these sponsored agendas that pass for research projects in this bizarro science age. The DEQ will not accept their data as valid, even though they followed proper protocol and seem to have chosen sites by random. There will be a local repeat in a different stream. The first high water event of season was missed, so the highest counts were not in the data set. The reason that the first rain bring more coliform is that watershed run-off collects manure that has set on the surface. Farms tend to have bovine or equine patties.

Dr. Lenny prefers composting - but it is labor intensive for the value of product. It does make a good solvent for the transformation of chemicals - which may lead to remediative strategies and value added 'natural' fertilizers. In fact - Dr. Lenny almost marketed a compost concentrate as part of zoo doo, before he left the exotic pooh for the world of education and the types of shit that hit youth fans. My guess is that some govt. engineer will design a wildlife porta-potty so that a govt. biologist can spend years trying to study how to trick animals into using them.
