Allotments 4 All

I collect chicken manure from a local lady, she said it's with shredded hemp. Is this ok to compost/manure heap or is it the same as sawdust and best left off the plot?

Thanks

Hi Nilly. I think she might mean hemcore. Have a google on it. I use it for my guinea pigs & chickens. It's brilliant stuff & can go in the composter. I think I read it composts down quickly & the chicken manure will accelerate it. HTH.

Yup - Hemcore. Its the inner stem from Hemp plants. I use it for my hens and composts really quickly. Go for it!!

Thanks for the replies.

I have 3 large bags to collect now, they should smell great  :P

Today she said she will be changing to easybed, is this ok for the plot?

Just had a google & it can be spread on organic farmland so it should be fine.
