For The Farm
 

 

Raw unprocessed poultry litter has been used forever for pasture fertilization and rates of 4 tons per acre were commonly used.  Often this litter had only one chicken flock grown on the bedding producing a low nutrient analysis resulting in an unprocessed fertilizer which contributed to weed growth.

It is generally recognized that chemical fertilizer is not fully utilized by grass.  Some part of it volatilizes into the air while more percolates through the root zone and still other nutrients leave the scene by water erosion.  The nutrients that remain in the root zone will likely produce an abundance of growth for 30 to 45 days and may provide growth for up to 3 months.

Misty Grower 4-2-2 organic fertilizer will normally provide plant food through the slow release process for up to 300-400 days with some benefit extended up to 2 years.  This lets the plants have access to plant food every day instead of one to two meals every year, as in the case of chemical fertilizer.

The cost of petroleum has now become high enough to make the use of natural organic fertilizer be economically feasible.  Organic fertilizer is produced by chickens at the rate of about 15 tons per chicken house every month.  With 12,000 houses in Georgia that brings forth, as a renewable resource, 180,000 tons of organic fertilizer every month.

It is now possible to buy bulk loads of processed poultry litter delivered to the farm at an economically significant value.  This can reduce dependence on petroleum to manufacture chemical fertilizer.
