    In an organic garden we really don't need to use different items for different stages of plant growth - a balanced soil mix is constructed and your plants will decide what they need and when they need it. It really takes all the work out of it lol.


    Are you interested in constructing a balanced, living organic soil? What are your growing methods? It would help to know.

    Interesting;  Because, I make my own compost and it require sseveral different elements.  I answered this question being under the impression rhisa member wants to build his own Organic blend, but, I could be wrong. :)

    I wouldnt use unprocessed pigeon manure. Id recommend feeding it to redworms first.

    Parasites would be my main concern.

    I would even be reluctant to use it as a worm feed without running it through the thermophilic composting process first.  That'll take care of any pathogens.
     
    High levels of ammonium are toxic to worms.  Uncomposted poultry litter (bird droppings) is very high in this form of nitrogen.

    aside  from parasites is it any good for flowering. I know its good for  veg because of nitrogen, I just cant find any info at all on it

    That lack of information is telling in itself.

    http://www.lundproduce.com/N-P-K-Value-of-Everything.html

    "Pear Leaves: 0.7/0/0.4
    Pigeon manure (fresh): 4.19/2.24/1.0
    Pigweed (rough): 0.6/0.1/0 "

    You'll find more info here - http://www.vegetablegardener.com/item/2427/using-manure-to-fertilize-your-garden/page/all

    It's going to change when you compost it though, so those NPK values are out the window. I wouldn't dare use it without composting it first anyhow, like you've been advised by several posters above.

    And here - http://www.allotment-garden.org/compost-fertiliser/farmyard-animal-manures.php

    These are all from the first pare Google search on "NPK values of pigeon fowl manure".

    Start composting it already. It takes time and days are wasting! I also haven't looked at an NPK value of anything in my garden in years, fwiw.
