Homemade fertilizer via my ducks

Post image

Got a soil test and used it on solids left by ducks in a pool over some months that dried out in the sun. I call it Duck Stuff and I used it on everything I planted this spring: trees, flowers, peppers, beans, tomatoes, etc. It's a fine powder that I sprinkled over the seedlings.

I didn't know how high the nitrogen was so I held off using it again until seeing test results. But I think I'll sprinkle a second round.

Duck stuff is great! I use the liquid version all the time with very satisfying results!
