Turkey Compost

Turkey compost is a nutrient-rich organic material that is created by composting turkey manure, bedding, and other organic materials. It is a dark brown or black material with a crumbly texture and a mild earthy smell. Turkey compost is a good source of nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium, as well as other essential nutrients for plants.

Turkey compost can be used to improve soil fertility, structure, and drainage. It can also be used to suppress weeds and pests, and to increase the water-holding capacity of soil. Turkey compost is a good choice for fertilizing lawns, gardens, and flower beds.

  • Improves soil structure: Turkey compost can help to improve the structure of clay soils by loosening them up and making them more aerated. It can also help to improve the drainage of sandy soils.
  • Suppresses weeds and pests: Turkey compost can help to suppress weeds and pests by creating a healthy environment for plants to grow in.
  • Increases water-holding capacity of soil: Turkey compost can help to increase the water-holding capacity of soil, which can help to reduce the need for watering.

 

Turkey compost can be applied to soil at any time of year, but it is best to apply it in the spring or fall before planting.
