BarbaraJ Posted March 5, 2008 Share Posted March 5, 2008 Seems alot of talk about poop? what do those without a composter do with it? We have a garden recycle bin which can have pet (rabbit etc) bedding in it. Do you thing i could put it with the aubiose i there, or do i need to use my compost bin. Nothing much to put the compost on in my garden though lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bondinho Posted March 5, 2008 Share Posted March 5, 2008 I build it up in a bin bag and then give it to my mum! Every other Saturday she gets a delivery of chicken turd that she puts in her compost bin. Any family or friends have large compost bins? Most people would willingly take it if offered.

BarbaraJ Posted March 5, 2008 Author Share Posted March 5, 2008 My neighbour has an allotment i'll ask her, we don't speak much though never had a disagreement so could soften her up for the chickens lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eyren Posted March 5, 2008 Share Posted March 5, 2008 Your neighbour will (hopefully) be grateful for chicken poo! It's very nutritious (you pay a lot for pelleted chicken manure at the garden centre), but needs to be composted aerobically in order not to damage plants, so add to the compost heap in moderation, mixed in with dry stuff like bedding. Alternatively it can be spread thinly over the ground well before planting and left for the worms to bury Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Egluntyne Posted March 5, 2008 Share Posted March 5, 2008 you pay a lot for pelleted chicken manure at the garden centre .....and it comes from battery hens. Your neighbour might be glad to get it from a different source. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carol U Posted March 5, 2008 Share Posted March 5, 2008 I've heard that if you bag it up, local horticultural societies are only too pleased to have it. You could try that if all else fails. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
