Guide to Composting with Chicken Manure
Not only can your flock provide you with delicious fresh eggs, but they can also provide you with chicken manure compost! The waste that chickens produce does not have to be wasted. It doesn’t even have to sit around and turn into a stinking pile of manure. Instead, turn that waste into compost!
What Are the Benefits of Chicken Manure Compost?
Chicken manure compost has many benefits for the soil and the farm. Here are a few of the main benefits of chicken manure composting:
- Natural Fertilizer: Adds nutrients like calcium, sulfur, magnesium, nitrogen, potassium, phosphorus, manganese, copper, zinc, and iron to the soil.
- Improves Soil Structure: Helps improve water retention, soil drainage, and improves soil aeration.
- Feeds Soil Microbes: Soil microbes feed on organic matter like chicken manure compost which then makes the nutrients more readily available to plants.
Understanding How to Compost Chicken Manure
Fresh chicken manure needs to be converted into compost in order to be beneficial to your soil and farm. To turn chicken manure into compost, you must start a composting system and facilitate the composting process. The composting system is aided by beneficial soil microorganisms – that’s why composting is more effective than letting chicken manure pile up in a manure heap.
Hot vs. Cold Composting
There are two methods of composting: cold composting and hot composting. Both can turn chicken manure into compost.
Hot composting entails a little more maintenance, but it converts the chicken manure into compost faster. With this method, you need to bring the compost pile up to 104-160°F for an extended period of time through proper management of moisture and turning.
Cold composting needs minimal maintenance… but the process composts your organic materials at a slower rate. For cold composting, you can start a compost pile and allow the materials to naturally decompose. You can stimulate the composting process by occasionally turning the composting materials, but just letting the materials sit and decompose will achieve the same results, just in a longer time span.
