Default Poultry manure

What
did you do before? Did you get the chickens recently?


We only had a few bantams and quail before so my 5ft diameter cylinder
and 6ft sq. compost bins, plus 3 of the common plastic dalek things
could easily cope with all
the poultry waste mixed with lots of grass and shredded prunings,
makes good compost.

___But now___ we have a shed full of quail and our daughter has got
chicken (large and bantam), geese, turkey, and ducks but mostly in
woodland, so we get their stuff as well and ummm, it's getting to be a
bit much !

So I think a couple of heaps (like Mike says) on a couple of my veg.
beds is going to be the easiest way to go.
