I see that Menard's has "Chicken Poo" All Purpose fert. for $10.99/25# bag. Its analysis is 2-4-3. That's fairly mild, but still that is a really good price for a 25# bag of organic fertilizer.

I'm thinking about giving it a try on a few plants next season. What do you think of dried, pelletized chicken manure for tomatoes?
The ratio is not correct, but we do know it doesnt have to be to get tomatoes. If you want to reach the genetic potential of the plant, it will require a soil sample and fertilizers with ratios that pertain to the tomato. This has all been worked out for years.
