Title: pigeon poo
Post by: plymouthnick on October 22, 2009, 06:16:46
Hi is it possible to put a light scattering of the stuff on my plot now that has not rotted and let the weather and worms pull it down?

use it in your compost heap, it's great for establishing 'hot beds' in the spring.
welcome to A4A, as wel!! ;)

If you add the pigeon poo now, a lot of the goodness will leach out before spring. You'd do better to add it to the compost.
