Swan poo works a treat too (our allotments are right next door to

Aren't turkey droppings too strong even for potatoes until they've
been composted? I know swans have a different diet, but what about
them, too?

It's always at least a year old and includes the rotted straw/sawdust that
was the flooring. The sawdust will take out some of the nitrogen in rotting,
makes excellent soil improver for our silt/clay.
