Chicken Feed as Lawn Fertilizer?

annieee · 2007-09-20 09:26:52

Anyone ever hear of this? I know my neighbour did it, but he put down rolls of turf. We put down seeds 5 days ago. Just wondering if I was to use Chicken feed at what stage would I spread it? Now or when the grass starts to come up? Cheers :confused:

Chicken feed or chicken excrement?
The feed sounds kind of nonsensical the poo on the other hand should be a great fertilizer.

Yes, I thought that too .. chicken feed would contain all kinds of grains and seeds and things .. not what you'd want growing in your nice new lawn I suspect. Chicken 'guano' though would be another matter

I wouldn't bother at this stage. It does more good to the roots.
