Chicken manure is a very effective fertilizer, but it is not suitable for all crops.
We tell you how to properly use chicken manure to feed plants.
How to Feed Plants with Chicken Manure
At the beginning of the growing season, chicken manure can be used to feed almost any crop.
The exception is plants that prefer acidic soil.
These include conifers, blueberries, lingonberries, cranberries, bilberries, azaleas, hydrangeas, heather, and rhododendrons.
Also, you should not use this fertilizer to feed decorative bulbous plants: lilies, daffodils, gladioli, tulips.
Strawberries and winter garlic are fed as soon as they recover from wintering.
When fertilizing strawberries, you should use a minimum concentration of fertilizer - you can burn the roots.
Cucumbers, pumpkins, squash, melons, watermelons, and cantaloupes can be fed before they begin to bear fruit, and cabbage can be fed before heads/inflorescences begin to form.
Fruit trees and berry bushes are fed when their first leaves open.
Fertilizer is applied to holes in the trunk circle or to a furrow around the perimeter of the bush crown. After flowering, you can repeat the feeding.
It is permissible to feed table root crops (potatoes, beets, carrots) only at the beginning of the growing season.
