On country file last Adam toured a poultry farm and he said when one lot of birds are ready and shipped off the hen house is cleaned out and all the sawdust and chicken poop is taken to his farm to be spread on the fields, which I thought was quite interesting.

Like others we mix it into the compost heap but I am considering spreading some on when I have some empty ground over winter, then digging it in

I was just about to quote that lucy! I was surprised as I didn't think it could go straight onto the land ..... now I shall definitely try an area.

Its possibly ok to go straight on the land because most poultry places apparently use the same bedding for 40 days, so it already started to mature by the time they clean it out
