cow manure
Pasture's natural fertilizer
Cow manure is the feces of cattle, used extensively as fertilizer and soil amendment.
It's valued for adding nitrogen and organic matter to soil: We spread cow manure on the garden beds each spring.
The term is slightly more polite than cow shit, making it suitable for agricultural and gardening contexts.
