Joy Re: Putting the chickens to work

Here's a little something to think about;

Before I teamed up with my nursery partner, he used to have chicken manure collected from the nearby farms for the Jackfruit trees. Now, being in the tropics and especially here in M'sia, the humidity is high, fungus set in and got most of the trees diseased. There were 300+ trees and 90% were screwed cos of this.

I find that unprocessed chicken manure tends to attract more fungi in the tropics than cow's or goat's manure. I don't know it's lethality in the temperate areas. Just food for thought.
