[QUOTE="tytower, post: 792734, member: 2399"] Well the smell is natural. Its gone pretty soon after this above .Needn't have worried . The fly maggots consume only dead stuff then crawl into the ground and pupate. What runs off goes into the ground and is the real source of fertilizer if you think about it, it was the only fertilizer available for billions of years so everything thrives on it . Pull them over near a weak tree and leave them alone. Come back 6 months to a year later and see how well the tree has come on. I always pick a tree on a high point to take the smell away and put the beast on the high side of the tree if there is one say 10 foot from the trunk. Initially the grass underneath dies and you get a black spot for some time then when the grass regrows it is dark green and cows will avoid it not from the smell but because it is too rich for them. Take that into account when you put cattle on fertilised grass . It looks good to you but the cattle find it insipid, taste it ,it has a bite to it that is hard to explain .[color=#FF0080]Contrast this post against the one before about the Governments approach and then you can see why the worlds in trouble[/color] [/QUOTE]
