How to properly use chicken manure?

Stainless · April 12, 2015

My friend gave me about 100lbs of chicken manure the other day. They had several hundred tons delivered to their farm. They use it to spread over their hay fields.

What I'm trying to figure out now is how to properly use it in my gardens. I don't really need it right now because I've already purchased plenty of Tomato Tone but it would be a nice edition to some of my raised beds later in the season or at the beginning of next. It's pretty clumpy as if it was scooped or shoveled off of the floors of the chicken houses.

Any advice?
