Chicken compost...ammonia smell

[bower]

whoose, there is another soil amendment that will help to reduce scab, that is shrimp or crab meal. Maybe difficult to get in Montana.



That is a very nice method, Brownrexx, didn't know it was to avoid scab, but makes sense.


My dad who grew up farming, told me many times that you never apply manure before planting potatoes as you will have terrible scab - that was not just chicken but horse or cow manure, they are just as bad.
