TheHunter Posted November 8, 2009 Share Posted November 8, 2009 Hi All. Sorry for being a bit thick but someone told me i should be sprinkling my lawn with something after i move my run and coop. What? I have seen a few poo's go mouldy! is this to stop that happening? Thanks TH Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plum Posted November 8, 2009 Share Posted November 8, 2009 I think you are best composting the droppings rather than leaving them down but I did read somewhere you can add water to poo and use it as a grass fertilizer. Wish I could remember where I read it so I could try some. I don't think its so much the mould on poo as turning the ground acidic which means chicken diseases can live in the soil + worm eggs and liming it counteracts this.
