POO

[tink]

Not sure how to use......I have a bucket of chicken poo and not sure if I should put it in the compost pile or if I can put it directly in the garden.......Any advice!!!! thanks Tink

You need to let it compost awhile before putting it on plants-chicken litter is considered "hot" and needs to mellow a bit.

Hey Speckle.....how long should I wait. The bucket full is pretty dry. We moved our coop today and I collected it. Didn't want to waste it. Thanks Tink

I'd wait at least a month or more myself, and that's the bare minimum. I have a compost pile where I put old poop-filled shavings and there's certainly alot of very dry poop, but I let it mellow for months before putting it on plants. Dry or not, it will burn your plants if it isnt composted first.

Good! Now I have an excuse why I won't bring my SIL a bag of poop! Like having a baby isn't poopy enough. LOL! The nursery lady told me to go collect cow patties for my trees.
