Fate of nitrogen during composting of chicken litter

Chicken litter (a composition of chicken manure, wood shavings, straw, waste feed, and feathers) was composted in forced-aeration piles to understand the changes and losses of nitrogen (N) during composting. During the composting process, the chemical [different N fractions, organic matter (OM), organic carbon (C), and C:N ratio], physical, and microbial properties of the chicken litter were examined. Cumulative losses and mass balances of N and organic matter were also quantified to determine actual losses during composting. The changes in total N concentration of the chicken litter piles were essentially equal to those of the organic N. The inorganic N concentrations were low, and that organic N was the major nitrogenous constituent. The ammonium (NH4+)-N concentration decreased dramatically during first 35 days of composting. However, the rapid decrease in NH4+-N during composting did not coincide with a rapid increase in (NO3−+NO2−)-N concentration. The concentration of (NO3−+NO2−)-N was very low (<0.5 g kg−1) at day 0, and this level remained unchanged during the first 35 days of composting suggesting that N was lost during composting. Losses of N in this composting process were governed mainly by volatilization of ammonia (NH3) as the pile temperatures were high and the pH values were above 7. The narrow C:N ratio (<20:1) have also contributed to losses of N in the chicken litter. The OM and total organic C mass decreased with composting time. About 42 kg of the organic C was converted to CO2. On the other hand, 18 kg was lost during composting. This loss was more than half (59%) of the initial N mass of the piles. Such a finding demonstrates that composting reduced the value of the chicken litter as N fertilizer. However, the composted chicken contained a more humified (stabilized) OM compared with the un-composted chicken litter, which would enhance its value as a soil conditioner.

I took a few Guitar Lessons from Jimi Hendrix

Do you believe me? I’m the right age, born in 1953. He was born in 1942, so it could be true. Of course, they were private, in the flesh lessons, not online guitar lessons. It was not that big of a deal at the time. I already knew of him from BBC out of England. I knew he played backup for the Isley Brothers before he ventured out on his own.

I was taking guitar lessons from another private teacher when I ran into Hendrix at a guitar store in Wash DC the day before a concert, while his guitar was being set up. What a freak out. He was hanging and very friendly and talkative. Jimi seemed really honored that he was so impact-full on my life. That I wanted to emulate every note he made. That I understood every word he ever said.

He asked me to play some for him, so I played a little bit of Castles Made of Sand . Jimi told me that  he never took a lesson in his life and had no idea what he was doing theoretically. That he played his guitar all the time and experimented a lot. But he told and showed me about 100 times a couple of “things” he said he did. And he made sure I knew that it may take years of practice to “get it”.

I’m still in awe today. But I knew why he was in town back then. I already had my tickets to the concert at Wolftrap. He was the nicest guy in the world. I walked down the stairs of the old guitar makers building, head in the stars, and to this day perform the maneuvers he showed me, and more I have learned, mostly from certain online guitar lessons in video and DVD form.

Since that day, I narrowed my scope of music to almost entirely Hendrix, his influences, SRV, and his influences. But Hendrix’s vibe is tattooed in my blood DNA. While I love other music types, I play with passion and strive to get better always.

You can learn in a manner almost as cool as mine, these learn at home guitar lessons are for anyone, any level guitar player that wants to learn how to play the guitar at home like their guitar god. I’m serious, all it takes is about 20 dollars a month and some hard, fun, self gratifying work. Buy online guitar lessons now….cheap and costs effective, with a money back guarantee.
