Most people that earn money being an affiliate sign up with several Affiliate Programs. In fact, you will have to try out several before you find those who will make you the most money. Probably the most important considerations when you choose to promote products as an affiliate is to choose worthwhile products.

Your girls are darling - what wonderful pictures!

Chicken manure is terrific for the compost pile - I have chickens and wouldn't dream of not using it. Rabbit manure is fantabulous, as well.

Good Morning June,
We just throw everything in a big compost pile and let it cook and turn it and it seems to work out.
Your chickens are so pretty!

I am throwing some chicken and quail manure right into one of my gardens this fall and plan to till it into the ground in the Spring. The rest will be in the compost pile to try to heat things up. I'm a lazy composter so I rarely take the time to turn it!

Beautiful photos! Nothing better than jumping in the leaves! Love the shot of the chickens against the fall colors. We use sand in the chicken run and have been adding the sand with manure to the garden. So far so good. We also use manure from our farmer friend (horse manure) I think and have excellent results. We get out soil tested every year from our local extension office - which helps

Thanks for stopping by June:)

I throw my chook (chicken) manure straight onto the garden and break all the rules. It has never done any damage and it's been over 30 years lol.

My gardens are lush and healthy, use that chook manure in your compost too, it makes for wonderful black, fresh compost, I've never had a problem using it this way either.

We also toss our chicken poop hay into the compost pile. It has really warmed the whole thing up. Now I feel the need to go look up people's reasoning against it.

love the photos of the kids in the leaves!

don't know about chickens, but having acquired a rabbit this year, we are adding her stuff to the compost, 10% veg for sure though.

Thanks for stopping by my blog! :) I love these action pic of your girls in the leaves, how adorable. And I really appreciated the tip about adding horse manure to the compost pile. We just started a compost pile a few weeks ago, and since we have 3 horses, we were adding their poo to the pile. Based on the info at Tall Clover Farm blog, we may want to reconsider...

Such beautiful photos of the kids playing in leaves. One of our favorite Autumn activities!
Good luck with the chicken poop :)

Hey June, My e-mail address is kjcouture@roadrunner.com. If you are interested in the poultry let me know asap because we'd like to see them gone by the weekend or they are headed to freezer camp. We have enough poultry though. We use cow, pig and/or horse poo. We use the bedding from the chickens (when they are in over winter) in the gardens. More poo the better according to E.Coleman. I

That's dedication - a chicken poop hunt with chopsticks!

We don't have chickens, but I buy pelleted chicken manure and add it to the compost bins as an activator. Don't know what the results are yet because we haven't emptied the bins yet. But I'm looking forward to good results.

We either just throw the hay from the coop into our compost pile along with all the yard scraps (we have a tumbler that we use for food and kitchen stuff.) This year, in our large garden, we also spread cooked compost from the tumbler and then emptied the chicken coop stuff on top of it with a bunch more hay. After letting it sit for the winter, we will till it all under in the spring. We'll

Hello June!
Your girls are so beautiful! And such good farm girls to be gathering the goods with chop sticks! When we clean out our chicken barn, we put all of the straw and manure into the compost heap. Also in the heap is all the goat and rabbit manure from our farm, and horse manure from neighbors farms. Other stuff too....like leaves that we gather and grass clippings. It is a huge pile

I'd love to have chickens. Someday. Do you think I could ask my egg man to save the chicken poop for me?

what great shots full of complete joy! my boys are doing the same exact thing. i was just telling a friend how raking leaves is a lesson in futility when you have kids :)

2009-11-10T15:18:51.668-05:00

Chicken manure/compost is a precious commodity. Home Depot and most gardening centers sell the stuff in huge bags - so it must be good for the plants. Now, wouldn't it be great if the chickens could be "paper-trained" to deliver it exactly where you want it??

Happy autumn, leaf pile jumping, golden days to you all - Conny

2009-11-10T10:51:31.066-05:00

Not using it yet, June, but I'm hoping to buy a coop sometime in 2010. Since I'm considering a "tractor" coop, I thought about moving it over my beds...but I really should do more research of the Eliot Coleman variety, I guess.

Have fun jumping in those leaves!!

I love it! Your girls are fearless! Collecting chicken poop with chopsticks takes real commitment and tenacity. They are serious farmers!

Seems like I read that same thing Eliot Coleman mentioned, I can't remember the details. I just remember thinking it didn't apply to my situation and I planned to use it anyway. But I wouldn't trust my memory on this - it's very fuzzy!
