I have got chicken pellets and horse manure to use in preporation for next season and i am wondering if i should use chicken pellets in the same way as horse manure.

I know that some veg (ie Parsnips) go too wild with Manure so i get abit confused on what to use it on.  I have looked into it in books, but it doesnt realy give too much advice?

has anybody got any experience with chicken pellets

Any help would be much appreciated

horse manure is a good all-round 'fertilizer' for most crops. chicken pellets, by their very cost and much higher percentage of nitrogen, are best used as a sprinkle around higher nitrogen needing crops like corn, toms, the brassicas. Root crops tend to need some horse manure worked into the soil but they don't need chicken pellets; some manure tea or comfrey tea are better nutrient sources for them.

Many thanks for the info,

Will firstly figure out what i am going to plant and where before i do any thing with my chicken pellets.  Horse poo it is then!!

Thanks again
