When to use poultry manure
Using poultry manure
Product choice
crops use 200g per sq m (6oz per sq yd), but split this into two doses with a four week gap between
applications.
Product choice
Dried poultry manure pellets are sold by many garden centres. Nutrient content may not be quoted
on the packaging, as detailed labelling is not required of unmodified natural manures, which by
their very nature do not contain standardised ingredients.
Poultry manure is sometimes composted, crumbled to a powder and sold under different proprietary
names without any indication of its nature on the packaging, this not being required of unmodified
natural manures. However, its origin is usually evident from the characteristic smell and the
presence of small feathers in the powder.
