Used in moderation it seems like a great soil ammendment especially if it was mixed with a fair amount of straw. Different strokes for different folks I guess. Great thread!

The only negative I have ever experienced with chicken manure is with my neighbors when that fresh load is delivered.

30+ years ago I cleaned out my bosses chicken coop about once a month. Always hated every minute of it. Quite ripe to say the least. An experience that is forever etched upon my mind. Funny thing is I would love to be able to have the opportunity to clean out that coop again just to get some of that chicken manure mixed with that golden straw and make a big compost pile with it. Funny the things gardeners are willing to do to grow some wonderful food.

I use water instead of gatorade even though the nations crops are being watered with gatorade.
