Liquid chicken manure: Yum, yum
I love the smell of manure in the morning.
But, er, I may pass on this – chicken shit that’s liquefied after storage in a plastic bag for a year. Lovely.
Pongs a bit, no question. But it’s fantastic for getting your compost going. Once this has seeped in and done its bit, the heap will warm up and start working again after a long, cold winter.
That looks like a wonderful high nitrogen, compost starter! Just light the blue touch paper and stand back!

I’m using pigeon shi… manure in my raised beds. Unfortunately, my dog considers the clumps little hors d’oevres.

Where are you getting the pigeon shit from, altadenahiker? Tell me you’re not scraping it off your roof or something!?

Not. A friend actually raises racing pigeons.

Great source of fertiliser. Makes me wonder if I should contact pigeon keepers in my area; they must all be drowning in manure they want taken away.

Be very careful when using pigeon shi*** there is a nasty illness which is easy to catch if you breathe in the dry dust!

Hi
Where do you get your Chicken Manure from? I have heard of this technique before but have never been able to get any.
Great site by the way!

My mother keeps chickens, Matt, so there’s always a ready supply…
