I have a lot of chickens......60 plus the broilers
You know how they use the chemical fertilizers like 13-13-13 or 10-10-10 in the Earthbox, global buckets, earthtainers in a "fertilizer strip".... Well, I can't find a deffinate answer as to why you can or cannot use "dried chicken manure" the same way.
Regular chemical fertilizers are put in a strip away from the plant base so it does not burn the plant while it is slowly pulled into the soil by moisture to give the plant nutrients.
Wouldn't dried chicken manure do the same thing?
