Any ideas on what to do with turtle poop? Our red eared slider lives in a large aquarium and we usually pour out poop from cleaning her tank into the lilies, wondering if there’s other ways we could be utilizing it. Maybe for the couple of fruit trees we’re growing? I read on another permie forum that you can inoculate manure with nematophagus fungi, I’ll have to do some research on that.

This is my first time replying to a post, please forgive if I do this wrong!


Quote from Beau M. Davidson’s original post:


Animal Support
Innoculate pasture or animal GI with nematophagous fungi (like Duddingtonia flagrans) for parasite control.
Use wood chips inoculated with King Stropharia around your bee hives for food and disease-resistence.



I’m curious if I could use nematophagus fungi to innoculate GI from our pet turtle and maybe use it to fertilize ornamental plants?
