Thank you so much! I play it on the safe side and use my compost mostly as top dressing or mulch style. I try and make quick compost (lots of grass clippings) so planting directly in it can be bad as it still need to break down etc. But I grow hardy so-called weeds in it (like rocket, dandelions, mustard greens) as they are cheap and also I think good for the compost. After I grow these so-called weeds in the compost, I use it as normal compost. I have a whole setup going haha.
But I could reckon that the chicken manure makes for the best compost or addition to soil for veggies?
Whatever I grow in the areas I've had the chickens running in always does well, so I'd hazard a guess that it's good stuff! I was given some bags of sheep manure one year and did better with broccoli that year than the horse manure we can usually get hold of for free.
Free stuff like that is always awesome! I know a lot of regenerative farming (or I know of one) here uses sheep to fertilize the fields, and a winery uses special "face masks" for the sheep so that they can eat the weeds but not the grapes, in so doing fertilizing the soil.
