My question is how ofter is to often and What do you use? I know Organic matter but I dont have much My hubby gives all my scraps to the chickens. Im kinda scared to use Chicken poop due to the heat? I read a slow realease is good But what is your preferance. I got some from one place and the crown of that daylily was GINORMUS!!! I wish mine all looked like that? I need to know should I fertilize weekly or would that be to much? Excuse my spelling.Please help...Brandy

Just compost the chicken poop first then use it. Once the poop has cooled down , it can be used on daylilies.

Have your soil tested, including pH and you will know what to fertilize with that will benefit your plants.
