While raw chicken manure is too potent to apply directly to flowers or vegetables, it becomes garden gold once composted! Using it fresh can harm plant roots and potentially kill your plants. However, when properly composted, chicken manure brings a host of benefits. It acts as an excellent soil amendment by adding organic matter, enhancing water retention, and promoting healthy microbial activity in the soil. Additionally, it serves as a potent fertiliser, providing higher concentrations of nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium than horse, cow, or steer manure, making it an ideal natural boost for your plants.
