[brownmule]

any one who the nutrient value of turkey poop? weve been talking to a big turkey farm about making a haul to put on our fields.. was wondering if it will raise the acid level in soil.. .. my soil is already very high in acid.. thanks Rose
P.S. i got the place to stock pile it LOL yep in lower field beside crazy neighbor LOL oh is that poking the bears ? :roll:

High nitrogen, it's got to be spread much thinner than cow manure.
It easily burns if spread to thick.
Smells VERY bad. Your neigbor can sue, and will win.

I have never tested turkey manure but I have tested lots of chicken manure and it should be similar. Chicken runs about 3-2-2 and it shouldn't decrease the pH in your soil. In fact manure from layers will raise the pH because of all the calcium they get fed.

around here they have broiler houses.an they spead the litter on their pastures at a rate of 3 tons to an acre.so with turkey litter im sure the spread rate is the same at 3tons an ac.
