Chicken Manure

Chicken manure is nutrient-dense, containing significant concentrations of calcium, phosphorus, and potassium. Properly composted chicken manure can be applied annually to improve garden soil. The macronutrients in chicken manure are essential for plant growth and crop productivity. Chicken manure must be composted before it can be used in the garden. Raw chicken manure cannot be applied directly to gardens because it is strong enough to burn plants. Applying raw chicken manure without composting can cause nitrogen-induced nutrient burn, damaging or destroying plants. Chicken manure is a valuable soil amendment for gardening. Chicken manure benefits gardeners who follow a vegan diet and do not consume eggs.
