Hey guys, we've got chickens and pigs, we put pig poop in the garden during the winter months when we clean out the barn. We just dump it on top of the snow then come spring we till it in and away we go with planting. We've got a good sized garden that we plant pumpkins, gourds, squash and zucchini to feed the pigs during the winter.
We harvest in Oct. and the stuff will keep 'til January in the basement, cuts down on having to buy feed. The question is ... I don't see anybody ever posting about fertilizing with pig poop.
Should we switch to just chicken poop for fertilizer or is pig poop o.k.? Anybody else use it? We've been putting it on the garden for about the last 5 years with no issues, just curious what others think, we have had some premature yellowing and some blight during August on the vines but the fruit and the yield has been good.
