I got my hands on some 5 year old chicken manure and was wondering what % I should add to my dirt. The dirt I will be using came from around the same farm I got the chicken manure. The only thing I have left to plant are some peppers, 1 tomato plant, and a few cucumbers. I've only used compost from vegetable matter in the past so any help would be appreciated! Shawn

Maybe shovel full to a wheelbarrow, about 50:1 i guess. You can always make a liquid fert later if you think it needs more.
