In a soup?!

It certainly seems to be the go-to concoction!

On a slightly more serious note  ::)  if you have a fox problem you will have an even bigger problem if you use it - they just can't resist it, and the deeper you have applied it (eg on spuds) the deeper the excavations you will have to put up with!  :wacko:
Sow your seeds, plant your plants. What's the difference? A couple of weeks or more when answering possible queries!

One of the best things about being an orang-utan is the fact that you don't lose your good looks as you get older

Good point Jay - I lost sweetcorn last year to a fox diggin them up because I had put a bit of chicken poo in the hole I planted them in.

On a side note, I've never seen foxes in the garden or within a good few miles, but did hear them barking at one point last year (it is a mating call I believe!). We live surrounded by fields so I've no doubt they are arround.

But I have chickens and rabbits so I don't want to attract them into the garden, is there an alternative?  Everything I read says "blood, fish and bone etc" I've bought a bag but not used it yet.  Alas my phototoes didn't get anything dug in first they will have to do their best without  :tongue2:

Sorry not meaning to hijak!

I've had less problems with dried chicken poo because they seem to learn that it doesn't taste quite as good as expected!  :ohmy:

They never seemed to learn the same lesson with BFB though.   :nowink:

Only certain remedy is an inorganic fertiliser (Growmore being the most obvious choice.)

I use BFB, chicken manure pellets, calcified seaweed,comfrey tea and liquid seaweed (not all at the same time...) We have a fox problem - they have excavated a basement to my greenhouse - but I'm not sure it would make all that much difference what I put on the soil. They treat my plot like Tescos anyway. It seems like we just have to learn to live with them.
Self-sufficient in rasberries and bindweed. Slug pellets can be handy.

Do I need to compost it down of can I just dig it in before planting out the poatoes!

Perhaps I will have to exchange my BFB for something else!

I believe it depends on if it's got hay in. Do you fancy sifting out the poos?! :lol: We compost ours down and use it the year after.

I think your chickens and rabbits themselves are more likely to attract the foxes than a bit of bfb, I'd use it I don't think you'll suddenly have an invasion of them if they haven't already tried to get at your chooks.
Faff free zone!

My bunnies are very well litter trained I'll have you know  :tongue2:  (although yes it is a little muddled with the hay  :lol:)

Bunny poo is a cold manure so can be applied straight without having to let it rot down..
