Stockpile it and let it compost for 90 days minimum before adding it to any food production plots. 60 days is the minimum IF you add it to the food plot no less than 30 days prior to planting.

You can use it on ornamental flower beds/bushes after 30 days of composting if you actively compost it (mix with other components and keep it well turned and mixed).

Given that in another post you showed awful plants, plant the plants in the ground, mulch with manure, water it in. The plants will warmly thank you. Yes there are bacteria, but my chickens eat it fresh and nothing bad ever happened to them. My ancestors also survived about 300 generations of fertilizing with the stuff. the really dangerous one is meat factory manure.

hmmm... now i am confused hehe.

pile it for 90 days ... or use it right away :D
I still have some cow manure so I better pile it then to be safe.

Hello Jorgen,

First of all I am curious how you get poop from the southern Bahamas? I as because I'm from the northern Bahamas and have not met another resident here as far as I know. But your bio says you live in the US...

As for the poop; I would suggest googling to see how "hot" goat manure is. You can also probably find recommendations for when to use it. Some search term like "can I use fresh goat manure" or similar.

That said, it also depends on what plants you are considering adding the manure to the soils of. I have mulched my bananas with fresh horse manure and they did not get burned at all, in fact responded very well. But bananas are heavy feeders and can take much stronger fertilizer than some other plants, and also that was horse manure.

Let us know what you decide to do! Happy growing :)

@Dan,

To make it complicated. I am Dutch, have a house on Crooked Island, Southern Bahamas and I have a friend that has goats. With that he has a pile of goat manure that I can use.

I wanna grow veggies and flowers and as you might know the soil here is poor :)

Thanks for your input
Jorgen

Forgot to mention that I have not tried out the raised beds yet but have had some success with containers which also do very well here, and you can move them around to get the amount of sun best for the plants (eg. southern side of house if needing full sun, easter or western side if our full sun is too strong for the plant).

You get the idea; I would post more but I think I have reached the limit for photos per post ;)
