I know you have to get litter when you can, is it hen, pullet, or broiler litter? There's no way to know if it's too hot without an analysis. Around here , a 2ton/acre application would be towards the lighter side. I have applied 5ton on neglected ground, when it was free.Not yet. The chicken farm hasn't been there too many years and I just haven't had the extra money. Had plans of fertilizing this fall but the land next to me came up for sale so that idea got axed. They recommend 2 tons to the acre but I've talked to several people that said it was too hot and had better luck doing 1 ton 2 yrs in a row. I did go over about 150 acres with a Lawson aerator to try and free up the soil. Hopefully that will help. I'm on old neglected farm ground and the soil is really tight.
