So the wife wanted to have some chickens this year. I always remember my Grandfather using his chickens shit for fertilizer in his orchards and fields. My uncle who still runs the family’s Farm(mostly apples 🍎 and pumpkins 🎃)told me the best way to use chicken poop is mix with water lots and lots of water then fert your soil with this water. I’ve been reading a bit online about chicken poop and uses and some people compost it which is kinda what im looking to do. Just wanted to see if anyone has ever used or has know of anyone who has used chicken shit to feed there plants? what method you used to do this, and what kinda results did ya get?

@backblast I use chicken manure pellets in my soil when reamending and my plants love it. It has to be composted for a few months first i think, and then just mix it with your soil and itll be sweet. Some good shit 😉

@backblast I’ll just relate a story that Breeder Steve told on our first interview. Back in the day he used various organic methods to fertilize his guerrilla grows. One of the ways was to bury chickens manure then plant on top of it and let the plant grow into it. He said it worked but his then girlfriend who didn’t smoke kept  complaining about the smell on the burning weed. The manure he used wasn’t very old and the cannabis smelled of shit when burned but apparently didn’t taste terrible because he didn’t notice it 🤷🏻‍♂️. After that he started making sure he used more aged material.

Yes definitely mix it with compost or soil but to much can burn your plants as any other organic fertilizer except for worm castings . I also do not use it on new seedlings.  But be careful chicken poop attracts rats for some reason maybe because they go together with chicken feed.

Yeah you do have to be careful with pellets too - I think I added a bit too much into my outdoor mix last year and it fucked up the soil ph - lost 3 of 6 plants due to iron deficiency - the pic is a wedding cake that I was able to save by using acidic water - got a lb of real good flower from it in the end.
