Full details

This organic chicken manure pellet fertiliser from Gardening Naturally is designed for home gardeners seeking to enrich their soil and promote healthy plant growth. Its key benefit is providing essential nutrients in an easy-to-handle pellet form, reducing mess and allowing for controlled application. A minor caveat is the need for watering after application to activate nutrient release.

FAQs

How much chicken manure should I use?

For general soil preparation, aim for 100-200g per square meter. For established plants, apply 1-2 handfuls around the base, depending on plant size. Always follow the general guidelines and adjust based on your soil and plant needs.

When is the best time to apply these pellets?

These pellets can be applied during soil preparation before planting, or as a top dressing during the growing season. They are suitable for use throughout spring and summer.

Can I use this fertiliser on indoor plants?

While organic, it is primarily designed for garden use. For indoor plants, it's best to use fertilisers specifically formulated for houseplants to avoid potential odors or over-application issues in confined spaces.

Is this product suitable for organic gardening?

Yes, this product is made from processed poultry manure and is suitable for use in certified organic gardening systems.

How long do the nutrients last in the soil?

Chicken manure pellets provide a slow-release of nutrients. The benefits to soil structure and nutrient availability can last for several weeks to months, depending on soil conditions and environmental factors.

What is the NPK ratio of these pellets?

The technical specifications state: Total Nitrogen (N): 4.2%, Phosphorus (P2O5): 2.5%, Potassium (K2O): 3.3%.

Troubleshooting

Pellets not dissolving or releasing nutrients

Ensure you water the area thoroughly after application. The pellets require moisture to break down and release their nutrients into the soil.

Plants showing signs of nutrient burn (scorched leaves)

You may have applied too much. Reduce the application rate and ensure the pellets are mixed into the soil or watered in well. Avoid direct contact with plant stems or leaves.

Unpleasant odor after application

A slight, natural odor is normal for organic fertilisers. It should dissipate within a few days as the pellets begin to break down. Ensure good air circulation around the plants if possible.
