RE: My Asparagus Jungle: A Permaculture Success Story!

in #gardening7 years ago

Wow, looks amazing! We just got our asparagus started this year. Do you know how long you have to wait to use goat compost? We have goats as well and I wasn't sure when I could use their poop.

Sort:  

We compost it most of the way. BUT! Goat is like rabbit and is not considered HOT. So it won't burn your plants or hurt them in any way. The only concern is the pathogens that could be present in uncomposted manure like E-coli or salmonella. So I wouldn't want the manure to touch the fruit you are harvesting to eat. With proper sanitization procedures, it should not be an issue, plenty of people use it fresh with no issues.
