Post by: nickthegreek on October 22, 2009, 06:11

Hi is it possible to put a light scattering of the stuff on my plot now that has not rotted and let the weather and worms pull it down?

I did exactly that a few years ago and got very positive results.

I`ve found pigeon manure to be very good. In fact, when I had a plot, I would dry the droppings, put them through an old mincer, and use just like Growmore. Excellent crops. :D

I have pigeons and I do it all the time. Blueberries really love it. Every spring I lose carrier bags full to my mother for her blueberry plants  :dry:

Mine comes fresh when it's available and goes onto the compost heap to help it hot up. Now that really does do wonders for making compost.  :D
