This is just such an affront to all the hardworking, good folks who do such a valuable job in bringing us a cheap supply of poultry flavored poo crystals...

I've got some dairy customers using cow poo to power all or part of their dairy. It's all part of the circle of sewage. Eat - Toot - Reuse - Recycle

I've seen some survivalist books where they talk about how to convert your home to using the methane from your sewage.

We just had our 15 acre field fertilized with chicken poop. A whole $90. They delivered and spread it, too. biggrin.gif

Growing up we had a very large garden. We lived on the top of a hill and the soil was very sandy, so my dad was always adding organic matter to improve the fertility. Most years he would add horse or cow manure (composted), but he was always looking for a cheaper source. Then one year he came up with the idea to get manure from an egg farm. It was very cheap. It also wasn't really composted. Composted manure doesn't have much of a smell, but green chicken manure sure does.

The neighbors were not amused.

I am thinking that turkey and chicken "poo" are different in "make up"?  But in any event do either make good fertilizers?

sandy mix of turkey droppings (from the article)

chicken droppings are dense & acidic, will kill roses. (from my dad's journal)

I am trying to get my honeysuckles and lilacs to bloom better...  I need to get some more manure from the rancher a few miles over...

What if one's garden calls for an eclectic blend of water buffalo, swine, and mountain gorilla dung with a generous seasoning of earthworm castings? Could one special order that from Home Depot?

probably... hubby calls it the "anything for a buck store". You can order "just about" anything there, whether you need it or not... wink.gif

Of course it takes a trained blood hound and an old west posse on horseback to find anyone to help you in that store. Goodluck Cat!
