Summer residents value chicken manure as one of the most valuable organic fertilizers, which, moreover, has a fast effect.

According to the expert of the online publication BelNovosti, scientist-agronomist, landscape designer Anastasia Kovrizhnykh , such fertilizer remains in the soil for 2 to 3 years.

Those crops that received additional nutrition in the form of chicken manure are characterized by faster development.

In addition, plants become less susceptible to various types of diseases, as well as “attacks” by insect pests.

However, this type of fertilizer is not suitable for all cultivated plants.

First of all, we are talking about spicy medicinal herbs.

They do not need a large amount of nutrients. The result of "overfeeding" will be increased growth, as well as a decrease in the essential oil contained in the herbs.

As a result, the spices will no longer have a rich aroma, but will have only a faint smell.
