Manure & Lagoon Digester
In today's world the environment is top priority. The farmer has a problem disposing of manure on his farm if he is close to a town or rural housing. It smells bad, in fact it downright stinks. In many areas you are only allowed to apply certain amounts at any one time.
Pits and lagoons are about 80 to 85% fluids, so solids go to the bottom. This causes problems when pumping manure out. With Insta-Gro digester it works on solids, feeds the bacteria, assist's in the digestion, and makes the manure ready for use by hay and other crops.
Application Method
When pits or lagoons are almost full pump digester into the bottom. Action will begin much more rapidly if you have a recalculating pump to churn the solution.
Rates:
If you are applying 10 to 15 ton per acre use 6 to 8 gal of concentrate per every 10 to 15 ton of manure in the pit.
Allow 3 to 4 weeks before emptying pit. Digester is much more effective if process is done on a continual basis.
Lewis Driver of Virginia has a large lagoon, it had a thick crust on top, heavy and solid enough to walk on. Also it had 3 ft of sludge in the bottom. Insta-Gro Digester was pumped into the bottom of the pit, and after a few days cracks started to develop in the crust. After 3 to 4 weeks of foaming activity the pit was emptied. The crust was gone, the sludge had dissolved and nearly all the material was a black liquid.
There were few if any complaints from the neighbors because the smell had been reduced by 60 to 70%.
From the Ladwig Brothers of Wisconsin. In March of 2001 they used Insta-Gro pit digester in an above ground pit that was crusted over. After a few days to a week there was a 4 to 5 in. gap all the way around the outside wall. The manure was bubbling so much that it looked like some one was pumping air into the bottom of the pit.
After 5 to 6 weeks the circulation pumps was turned on; in preparation for spreading. All of the manure turned into a black liquid. They said that the manure stayed in solution much longer and even after 3 to 4 days did not have to be recirculated before being pumped into the spreader.
One of the Ludwig wives asked her husband why the manure did not smell nearly as bad in pervious years.
