goat pills

[praieri winds]

wasn't sure this belonged here or in garden but do yall compost your goat pills from your barn before you put them in the garden or can they be put directly in there like rabbit pills can

We compost a mix of bedding and berries, otherwise we get weeds galore.

If you have straight berries without bedding, you can put them straight in the garden. They won't burn plants like chicken manure will.

thanks but is the urine too acetic for the plants

Composting is best.

[CaliannG]

I do both. Compost if there is lots of bedding...straight to the garden if it is mainly just berries. And it also depends upon the weather.

I had a HUGE pile of old hay mixed with goat berries and urine in the middle of the pen. Due to our EXCEPTIONALLY wet spring, the stuff was still soaked underneath. I figured it was already composted and just hauled it directly to the garden.

We haul most to the compost/manure pile way out back but I clean daily & it's mostly berries I toss it directly into the garden. The deep bedding from the winter gets hauled to the manure pile to be used later.

[where I want to]

Veggie garden too? No contamination worries?

[Backfourty,MI.]

I only use them in my veggie garden. My flower beds are really too full to work too much into them in the way of mulch/manure.

Goat pills? LOL! I love that one!

We put them straight on the garden, just like rabbit pellets. No worries at all.

I sweep mine up from the compacted clay and put them directly in my garden areas. They dry well with a slight coating of clay - works well.
