POULTRY MANURE
METHOD OF USING. .Poultry manure is richer both in nitrogen and phosphates than other animal manures and relatively more rapidly available than the bulky manures. It is not usual to allow it to rot for any length of time. Instead, it is generally dried, either by machinery, in the case* of commercially handled samples, or in open sheds when prepared at home. This dry manure is broken down to a fine, powder and spread over the surface of the soil, either just before planting or sowing or immediately the thinning of seedlings has been completed. The appropriate rate is about eight ounces per square yard. This, it should be noted, applies to air dried samples. Kiln dried poultry manure contains much less moisture and is therefore proportionately richer.
