Chicken Poop compost

Hi,

I just found this on my local Craigslist. Can I use it as one of my composts?

Come get some organic compost, tilled year round. Made of only compostable food scraps (no dairy or meat scraps), yard waste, and chicken poop. Chickens constantly graze in this. Free if you bring clean 5 gallon buckets to swap with pre filled buckets, or $10/bucket if you don't want to get your own.

Yes, that should be safe to use, assuming it is fully composted. Since it is not pure manure, it should be treated as regular compost.

Side note: danieggert, suggest you start your own thread here on the Northern & Central Midwest forum so that you and other members can follow your progress. Perhaps start a new thread in this forum with a title such as "Dan's New SFG", or similar.
