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


What a great idea. Too bad Idaho is a bit far.

But I do have a place he could just dump it and then we'd have it!  Thank
all of you for your comments -- much appreciated!  Amelia in Iowa

Wow, does he deliver to Idaho? ;-)

I'm trying to get all the manure I can, but it's one
pickup load at a time with my own arms and back doing
the labor.

As for chicken manure, I'd have only one reservation,
and it's a slight one... "How old, or broken down is
it?". It can be a litte hot (I've heard...) but at the
very least I'd have him pile it up in a corner, and save it for the future
if you're not sure.

Regards, Cliff
