How do you prep your poultry droppings to use in your garden

---

I haven't used any recently. We just got back into a few chickens after years without any. I know farmers who've bought it by the truck loads.

We had goats and also now have rabbits but whatever manure I add, I add it in the late fall/early winter when I'm not planting anything.

As for a composter, I throw shyt in a pile. Now and then I'll stir it up a bit with a shoevel or rake.

I used to have a homemade composter. Wooden 1 X 6 rough cut lumber with a 6 inch spacing. To do it "right" you need to alternate layers of different things you'll be putting in. Also add fertilizer to the compost bin sometimes cause it's used to break down the contents.

There is a lot of info available on the net about composting if you're interested.
