Westland Organic Chicken Manure Pellets, 10 kg

Product Information

While fresh chicken manure is high in nitrogen, it may contain bacteria that can be harmful to humans, and is unpleasant to transport and handle. To grow well, plants need a wide range of nutrients in various amounts, depending on the individual plant and its stage of growth. The compost pile mixture needs to be kept moderately moist and the temperature should be maintained at the optimum of 130-150 F ( 54-66 C).

For general digging, feeding and soil conditioning, one bucket will treat about 60 square metres of ground (72 square yards).

Pelleted Chicken Manure is six to eight times richer than traditional farmyard manure and is a popular choice amongst gardeners who want a 100% natural fertiliser.
