Subject: Chicken manure....Good or No?

I just had a farmer friend stop by and offer too give give a truck load of
Chicken Manure for my new pumpkin patch.  He said it would help increase
growth.

Anyone on this list used it before?  My friend is a successful farmer, but
he grows commercial crops of corn, soybeans, etc.

Please let me know what you think. I need to say NO early on, before he
makes all the arrangements.  Thanks,
Amelia Painter
