2. How to use fermented chicken manure

Put the chicken manure flat in a place with direct sunlight to dry. Then stack them together and cover the top with a layer of plastic wrap to keep them warm. When the temperature inside the chicken manure rises to about 70°C, remove the plastic film and spread it out flat to cool down. When the temperature drops to about 50°C, repeat the process of depositing the film. Repeat this 2-3 times, and the chicken manure will ferment into organic fertilizer.

1. How to ferment chicken manure into organic fertilizer

1. Natural fermentation: The most common way to ferment chicken manure into organic fertilizer is natural fermentation. Specifically, the chicken manure is spread out in a place with direct sunlight to dry it. Then stack them together and cover the top with a layer of plastic wrap to keep them warm. In this way, chicken manure can naturally heat up and ferment. When the temperature inside the chicken manure rises to about 70°C, remove the plastic film and spread it out to cool down. When the temperature drops to about 50°C, repeat the process of depositing the film. Repeat this 2-3 times, and the chicken manure will ferment into organic fertilizer.

2. Drying and fermentation: in addition to using sun exposure In addition to natural fermentation, chicken manure can also be fermented by drying. Specifically, the chicken manure is first dried by heating. Then lay them flat, add five thousandths of a mixture of starter dilution and grass meal, pile them up, and cover them with straw to keep warm. When the internal temperature rises to about 60°C, remove the straw. Turn the chicken manure over once, add a small amount of starter and cover again with straw. When the temperature rises to around 60°C again, the fermentation is basically complete.

2. How to apply fermented chicken manure

Fermented chicken manure can be used as a base fertilizer before planting plants. The specific method is to use a shovel to deeply dig the soil before planting the plants, then add an appropriate amount of chicken manure to it and stir it evenly to fully mix it with the soil.
