  • chicken poo, leaves and soil

    i have just sieved out the chicken run and have an amazing looking medium. it consists of chicken poo, a year old leaf mould which the chickens shredded and soil. my question is whats the best thing to do with it. mulch, potting compost or add to current beds.

    I think that you should compost it for a year as some of the chicken poo could be a bit fresh before adding it to the beds.

      You should be OK adding it to vacant beds and letting it rot down over winter. I don't suppose you'll be doing much potting at this time of year so leave it to compost down as roitelet says and it should be reasonable come next spring.
