Chook poo as manure

Date sort Score sort
It is good fertilizer but dont pour it directly on the plants. It will burn them. Pour it next to them on the soil or work it into the soil before planting.
 
Before getting my own little "fertilizer factories", I used to buy composted chicken poo in bags. It had been composted with wood chips for 7 years and, let me tell you, I've never seen anything grow like it does in this stuff!! I live on a rocky hill, so I dig a hole for planting, fill it with the compost, then put in the plant. Roses love it! So does just about anything else. I have raised veggie beds and whiskey barrels which I filled with potting soil and the compost. Everything grows like mad! I'm planning on putting my saved chicken poo in the gardens to over-winter there, and then will work it into the soil in spring. I expect it will give "new life" to the gardens.

It's one of the many advantages to owning chickens. Enjoy!
