Steve. Posted July 17, 2008 Share Posted July 17, 2008 Chuck the poo on the compost? Then again I'm having compost problems. One has Ants whose Bite is very painful ... I am covered. And the other has small flies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Egluntyne Posted July 17, 2008 Share Posted July 17, 2008 Put the poo in the compost bin and them cover it with a layer of earth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jomaxsmith Posted July 18, 2008 Share Posted July 18, 2008 Put it in paper bags or wrap it in newspaper? Jo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steph101 Posted July 18, 2008 Share Posted July 18, 2008 Doesn't that bokashi bran help it break down faster too? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
calinz Posted July 18, 2008 Author Share Posted July 18, 2008 Thanks so much! great ideas, yes should have thought to put in paper and cover with compost - will do both! and must get some bokashi (dont know if i've spelt that right!!) and garlic to add to their food. so excited about getting my fence up tomorrow, my little chooks can free range from tomorrow, in their own bit of garden that they can do what they want with!! OH was bit dis-chuffed when they took a liking to his precious bamboo's! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
