Can I Use Manure in My Birdies Garden Bed?Updated 10 days ago

Yes, most manures are suitable for use in Birdies beds. However, use caution with poultry manure (from chickens, turkeys, ducks, etc.), as it has a high nitrogen content due to the combination of solid and liquid waste, which can be harmful if not properly composted.

Key Points:

  • Poultry Manure: High in nitrogen. Ensure it is well-composted before use.
  • Well-Composted Manure: Safe for your bed and promotes healthy plant growth.
  • Fresh or Partially-Composted Poultry Manure: Avoid using to prevent potential nitrogen burn or other issues.
