Is that both duck and chicken poo? I had LOTS of tomato and the squash did well, I don't recall if I was lugging buckets of dissolved poo after the fruiting started... I'll pay more attention this summer. Does that mean lettuce you want to keep fertilizing all through the lifecycle? For...

I wish, no, it was fall in Canada, it was definitely cool enough

No, the salmonella is in their poo, that is why you wash the eggs. They get parasites and we give them medications for it. Just do a search on BYC for coccidiosis and roundworms and cecal worms and gape worms and tape worms and threadworms (etc etc etc) It is a constant concern and we spend...

In nature (I live in deep woods) you'll see one duck couple per lake (large pond), I see my ducks who have access to more than one pond, will abandon a pond once it gets a little foggy w poo. They put their beaks in and shake it like they tasted something foul. ... Bateria/microbes/parasites...

Thanks for the videos, interesting. He is working harder than necessary and using more steps. I worry about bateria because he is removing solids and his water 'looks' clean but isn't. He isn't removing the toxins, just solids and is returning dirty water to the ducks. I worry they will share...

Very sorry to hear about that. I hope it settles out for you, those are some of the hardest illnesses (molds are also scary) If you could add the idea of compost into the solution it might lead to an easier path. Something like this: Instead of trying to filter out the poo, let gravity do the...

I am in Quebec Canada and there are many many properties like that here. You just have to choose one with no flooding issues. (In my case the house is on higher ground, water drains around and goes to another stream that then goes to a marshland to takes up the excess) You can absolutely have...

Yup, suddenly I am an amazing gardener... Try squashes (butternut and spaghetti) if you haven't yet. Just like tomatoes they are very duck poo friendly. But I think you have to stop on the tomatoes when you want them to ripen. I had a weird problem last year that they kept growing but wouldn't...

I use a pump that I put the intake hose into the duck pond when they are not there, use the other end to fill buckets or water my garden. The pond then fills itself from a large pond that has clean water coming from the stream that feeds from snow melt and rain falling on the mountain behind the...
