While cow manure is excellent for growing vegetables it is not recommended to use fresh manure directly on the growing area because they will burn tender plant roots. Applied to an area alone with other organic materials as sheet compost. Dug into the garden and allowed to age for at least 30 days.
A batholith (from Greek bathos, depth + lithos, rock) is a large emplacement of igneous intrusive (also called plutonic) rock that forms from cooled magma deep in the Earth's crust. Batholiths are almost always made mostly of felsic or intermediate rock-types, such as granite, quartz monzonite, or diorite (see also granite dome).
Some of the most abundant minerals found on the crust include quartz, hematite and orthoclase. Quartz is composed of silicon and oxygen; hematite is made up of iron and oxygen; and orthoclase is a potassium aluminum silicate compound. The chemical combination of one or more minerals produce rocks. The general elemental composition of rocks mainly include silicon, oxygen, aluminum, calcium, potassium and sodium.
