Basically it breaks down quickly and is less apt to burn plants. I clean out my chicken yard every 4-6 months taking 6" or so off the top. I do add the composted manure directly to my garden, but try to allow a couple of months for it to set. Ex. I add it to my garden in the Fall for Spring planting. I've used it earlier, and it does fine but I'd be wary though. I hope this helps answer your question.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02516007107983191206noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1719654853128172225.post-43029930279083029442011-05-10T21:52:01.699-05:002011-05-10T21:52:01.699-05:00Do you then rake up the bits from the chicken run/...Do you then rake up the bits from the chicken run/yard to toss in the compost bin?
