Chick N Poo Compost

Was at Menards today, and noticed a new product that I had not seen there before. A 25-pound bag of composted chicken manure, in pelletized form. It was a little more expensive than what I normally buy, at $9.99 per 25# bag. The Republic Mills Chicken Manure Compost I normally get is a 50# bag for $16.54 -- it is a little more economical, but when such products are not available the Chick N Poo would be a good alternative.

That is strong stuff. Would you limit it to 10% of total blended compost?

Yes, I would. The poultry compost I get from Republic Mills is just composted chicken manure, with no fillers, and is more of a fertilizer than it is a compost. Though, being composted chicken manure, it will not burn the plants. It will increase nitrogen, so I would use it in high quantities.

You mean low quantities?

Well, yes I did. What I meant to say was "I would not use it in high quantities". A senior moment, you know..... Embarassed

Best thing to do would be go to your local amish (if they are in the area) and see what kind of composted chicken filler they use.
