cow-dung
Pasture's natural fertilizer
Cow-dung is the feces of cattle, used traditionally as fertilizer, fuel, and building material.
In many cultures, dried cow-dung serves as an important cooking fuel.
The compound form emphasizes the material as a substance rather than an act: cow-dung patties drying in the sun.
