It would be too strong for other plants though. Tomatoes had a lot of leaves but few fruits, papaya and dragon fruit plants loved the fresh chicken manure as well.
How do you apply it? On top of the ground and water in? Or fork it in near the roots? I have pulled small amounts and mixed with the bunnie berries and had no problems. I like the fact that chicken manure has calcium as well. I will use the chicken manure more freely next year and see what happens.
