Quote: You're very much welcome, Abi; happy to help, any time. Not sure what else you could use it for, except maybe in the garden if you fertilize with chicken manure. The reason you can't use fresh chicken manure for fertilizing, as I understand it, is the high acidity of "green" (fresh) chicken manure will burn the crop. I don't know whether mixing lime into green manure prior to spreading would eliminate the need to age the manure or not; never tried it. Interestingly, you can use rabbit manure fresh out of the rabbit to fertilize...low acidity. I've even heard of rabbit growers placing wire-bottomed hutches directly over their gardens.
