Pelleted Chicken Manure
Organic Fertilizer
                (4-1-1)

Pelleted Chicken Manure (PCM) organic fertilizer is a decent source of nitrogen (2-4%) and 100% organic.  It also has small amounts of phosphorus and potassium.  Making PCM entails composting the manure until the manure is completely sterilized, which kills pathogens, viable weed seeds, salmonella, etc, at temperatures above 158°F (70°C).

Pelleted Chicken Manure

This manure is the richest source of nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium of the animal manures.

PCM Use

  • Used to increase green leaf growth
  • Adds organic matter that creates humus
  • Soils with high pH can be brought closer to neutral
  • Can be used as a compost decomposition activator
  • Improves soil structure
  • Do not use around seedlings
  • When adding to your garden as a nitrogen source, always blend it into the soil (be aware of the strong smell)
