I've managed to get myself a regular(ish) free supply of chicken poo laced with finch and other pet bird droppings with heaps of bird seed in it as well as occasional bags of rabbit poo mixed with sawdust.....my question is this.....do I layer it into my compost bin or do I spread it over surface of the allotment? Nowt in the soil yet as darn clay soil is soaking at the minute and still too heavy to dig over

BTW it really Pongs.. :shock: .even though all 5 bags were on plastic and covered over to prevent spillage I could still smell it when I got out of other halfs car and I had to furtively febreze it in the hopes that he doesn't smell it  when I returned home some hours later from the lottie :oops: :oops:

Hiya Sweepea

I would personally compost it. It sounds very fresh and if you plan to plant anything this season, it'll burn the roots.

aye aye capitain :salut:  Don't want to burn any roots cepting that dang awful couch grass Added a bag of ichicken poo to my 'already on the go' compost bin and boy! did it heat up quick. :shock: ....was VERY whiffy by the time I left the allotment  hehe...Bet I'll not be flavour of the month with anyone living on t'other side of the hedge from my allotment Do you think the seed will die off with the heat generated? I don't want to end up with various bird seed germinations on the plot at a later date

As far as I know, the seeds are meant to die screaming but I've never managed to get my heap to heat up enough for that. This year will be different !!

The smell should calm down pretty quick.

Good luck with it

You could of course end up with some really good sunflower plants and some rather interesting plants that you only stand near when wearing loads of bling and dark glasses!!! I have grown both accidently from my parrot! That is my excuse and I refuse to change my story      :shock:  :shock:
