How Quickly Does Albendazole Work?

Hia Folks

 

We have found our lawn is really lovely, the chooks and our rabbit keep it nice and short, their poop fertilises it.

 

Hubby has a vegetable garden and has been digging their poop into the soil.

 

Do you think this is ok?

Oddly,for years i've bought poultry manure pellets for my garden plants so now i have chooks-i compost their droppings.Only had them 4 weeks,but have noticed it does decompose fairly rapidly so should be able to start using it later this year.I've always had excellent results with garden centre chook poop!

It's excellent fertilizer, but too rich to use raw (apart from the odd dollop!). It's better to compost it first or everything will grow to the size of sunflowers and blow over in the first breeze!

Chicken manure is brilliant, but as previous poster said, too strong to be used neat. However, I find that when I rake out the old poo-soaked hemcore, it is fine forked into the garden beds and really improves the soil.

[clucking mad]

it is good fertiliser but not too much when it is fresh because this can be too powerful

if you leave it in a compost bin it should be ok

it shouldnt smell too bad but everyones is different

Chicken poo is an excellent compost accelerator. OH said compost bin was steaming the other day and that's the first time he's seen it do that. Neat poo is too rich for the garden though!
