Chicken Manure Fertilizer?

[McRoth]

I've got a bunch of chickens that I keep for eggs. Would the manure from their coop be good for Hops?

Thanks!

Chicken manure is the bomb! Great stuff for gardens. I can be a bit "hot" for veggies, but I haven't had any issues with hops. We put hay down in our coop, so I'll typically combine free manure and hay and place it on top of my hop mounds. As it rains the manure seeps through and provides continual nutrients. Best hop (and tomato!) yields I've had are with CM.

yes it's good stuff. you could always compost it for a year and then toss it in the gardens, flower beds, and hop beds.

Great, thanks! I was going that would be the case. I use straw in their coop too.
