Winter Garden Hack For Better Veggies this Summer! It's time!!

What happens here

The next step in fertilizing the garden beds involves using chicken manure collected directly from the chicken coop. The coop is designed so a wheelbarrow can be pulled underneath, allowing for easy raking of the manure. The creator emphasizes that chicken manure is 'hot' (high in nitrogen/urea) and should only be applied in small amounts during late winter or early spring, or it must be aged/composted to prevent burning plants.

Goal: Collect and apply chicken manure to garden beds
