Manure

Manure plays a part in the fertility of the soil with the addition of organic matter as well as nutrients, such as nitrogen that are captured by bacteria in the soil. Higher organisms then nourish themselves on the fungi as well as bacteria in a chain of life which comprises the soil food web. Additionally it is a product gathered after decomposition of organic matter such as cow-dung that replenishes the soil with important elements and add humus to the soil.
