I am going to try this, sure hope I don't kill everything. I got free compost from the city (mostly composted leaves, yard waste) and have filled my beds with it. I have 7 chickens and a goat. I use straw for their litter. I have read you must compost the soiled bedding before use, but being an intant gratification type person I am going to spread it out over my garden as mulch. I am hoping that when watering it will make a tea that will dilute the manure in there before it reaches the roots so they will not burn. Then hopefully by next season it will have mostly broken down so I can dig it all up and spread it around my grapes and start over. If it works, it may be really really good....if not, a total disaster.
