Chicken manure is sometimes pelletized for use as a fertilizer, and this product may have additional phosphorus, potassium or nitrogen added. Be sure to mix 6X thoroughly with the soil and avoid contact between unmixed manure and young delicate plants as, in common with any high nitrogen food, it will be too rich.

This product is naturally high in organic carbon and has the full range of trace elements, along with growth promoting micronutrients.
