[QUOTE="simme, post: 1833427, member: 40418"] Here is a very good document on the use of chicken litter on pastures and hayfields. It covers lots of issues. One point is effect on soil ph. Typically, nitrogen fertilizers will lower the ph of the soil, requiring lime to be added. Pastures here that have had continuous use of litter seem to seldom or never need additional lime. I always wondered why the litter does not lower the ph. This document explains that the chicken feed contains calcium carbonate, so using litter is continuously adding lime to your land. Another advantage of litter. [URL unfurl="true"]https://extension.uga.edu/publications/detail.html?number=B1330&title=poultry-litter-application-on-pastures-and-hayfields[/URL] [/QUOTE]
