A local pigeon keeper has offered me pigeon droppings for my garden.
Can they be put on my allotment and when?


Compost heap is the place for them.


Agree. Bird droppings contain the secretions of the birds' kidneys, as,
unlike mammals, they have no separate mechanism for getting rid of
urine, and can therefore be quite acidic.


Or dilute heavily in buckets of water and use as a feed.
