Almost Chicken Shit, Black Hen
It's hard for me to get far enough out in the country to get real
chicken manure. I did just get a bag of Black Hen which claims to be all organic derived from composted chicken manure and 2 3 2. The 232 makes me think there is more to it than just chicken manure, otherwise I would think this would have a lot more N. I've been told to be careful of applying chicken manure too close to growing tomato plants as it will burn them. But this seems like a more muted product. Any precautions? I'd like to give a sock to the garden, I understand that cucurbits are heavy feeders and I'd like to move beyond the pricey fish oil emulsion. First cukes and a summer (straight neck) squash are on the way, the leaves are monsters (over a foot square). Just one small tomato, but many flowers. Nothing yet on the cantalopes and honey dews but the vines look good. Watermellon lagging (2' or so of vine), but I think OK. So far, better than last year. Jeff |
