I have used turkey manure in the garden for many years. It was a great tradition. My wife, old farmgirl that she is, would claim that helping me was 1 of my Christmas gifts! The farm I got it from cleans out their barns usually the week before Christmas. So I would call up there to check it out. Most years they would just let me have whatever I wanted for free. A couple years they wanted $10. for it. They told me there was a local landscaping company that used a lot of it. Usually I composted half of it & the other half I mixed in my garden beds. I didn't put it in too heavy & it was well-mixed. I never recognized any deleterious effects on my plants.
