Organic pelleted Chicken manure

 
Bought some organic pelleted chicken manure from B&Q,
buy-one-get-one-free, seemed like a bargain. Have any of you had
experience of using it and how beneficial is it?

  A "shed" chain  in the UK, selling DIY and garden stuff.
   Most gardenbanter posters are too dim to read the description
gardenbanter providees, of the usenet groups they post to; most of them
think they are posting on a website forum. So they have no clue they are
posting to an audience beyond the UK.

Assuming you have the same product as is sold in these parts it is
poultry manure (and nothing else) that has been dried and pelleted.
This reduces the smell to a manageable level and makes it easier to
handle.  If it is truly organic it is made from chickens that are
raised organically, that is fed 'organic' feed with no drugs etc.  The
difference between organic and non organic in this case is probably
marginal.

It is an excellent source of nitrogen and phosphorus for fertilising
your garden.  It is quite strong and needs to be applied sparingly,
you can always add more later in the summer but if you over dose you
will burn plants, specially small seedling.  It should be watered in
after application.

Only in a very narrow minded sense. Everything that we do has a
consequence. When you buy organic, you are also paying the feed producer
to grow topsoil, and the chook rancher not to waste antibiotics. "With
80 percent of antibiotics in the U.S. going to livestock,
antibiotic-resistant bacteria showing up in supermarket meat, and
drug-resistant bacteria literally crawling off factory farms . . ."

So the choice is to pay for a better world, or leave it to somebody
else, hopefully, to clean it up.

Other than that, they are nearly identical.

America is not broke. The country is awash in wealth and cash.
It's just that it's not in your hands. It has been transferred, in the
