I've got 10 yards of new topsoil
 
Ok the soil will be delivered as soon as the snow leaves here,,,about
a month I'm thinking. Heres the question...2 doors down from me the
neighbor raised chickens for years. He's been gone for 2 years now and
the house sits empty as does the chicken coop obviously! I was thinking
of raiding the coop...will this chicken manure be any good for amending
my dirt? I plan on building a new flower bed as I already have the
veggies garden, even though if the manure is good I would probably add
some to the garden to. Thanx for taking the time to read this..

I'd do it in a heartbeat. :-)
2 years is plenty for composting and chicken manure is seriously good
stuff!

and it will be free, and it is a waste product the new owner may simply
throw in a bin.
