sheep poo
« on: April 19, 2010, 21:00 »
On the way to my lotty i cross a field full off sheep and usually pick a bag of droppings on the way.
 Question is what is best to do with it.
I've put some in a bag in the water barrel to make a liquid fertiliser.
Do i put the rest on the compost heap, or keep it for feeding tomatos etc. ? 
As the great Percy Thrower used to say
" OI THINK THE ANSWER LIES IN THE SOIL"

It's jolly good for feeding toms as a liquid feed or it can be used in been trench  or just about anywhere that you would use horse manure on

ckocka with N and a very good slow release fertiliser.
we clip over 5000 ewes every summer.and the muck out of the pens is in great demand.
best in a hessian sack though and left to soak in a 45 gallon drum of rain water.
bliddy reeks when you break the crust mid summer lol. :blink:
