I do the same for my corn too, down the rows. I also throw down the fresh manure on areas I have cleared at the end of the season so it gets well composted by spring. Love your content.
Eric, great information and experiment. You put out some quality videos that people can learn from. Great to see your channel heading in that direction. I find I have gotten bored of some channels that are just everyday vlogging. I look forward to your soil results. While building my composted garden beds, I used crushed stinging nettle tea for the nitrogen, then switched to a compost tea. My soil is built up enough now where I don't need to add anything a few years. That's what I like about building your own composted soil. It does take time and effort, but it will give back and things will be simple. Cheers to you and fresh chicken poo!
That is some awesome looking soil you have.Very nice looking garden also.I need to send you some of my corn and see how it does at your place.It gets a good 12 to 14 ft tall here.No more than 12 ears will fit in a 5 gallon bucket.Thanks for the video
Corn is the only thing we have tested it on. Corn is one of those crops I have rarely seen burned. It just seems to love nitrogen. Lot of the farms around us use urea (46-0-0) on the corn which is why I thought heck why not some chicken manure. :)
I like the way you are using chicken manure. We have here a chicken farm .they are egg laying chickens and there is plenty of manure. some is fresh manure and some one month old. I want to use it in mt sugarcane crop . Do you think it is OK to use it. I do not want my crop burn .
I love your videos, your homestead scenery is so gorgeous, your garden looks tidy, it's just a bit of heaven. I could see the difference in the corn before you told which rows, the ones in back seemed taller as well as darker. Were your values far off on the two elements in the soil sample you were talking about? Was everything else pretty good? God Bless.
:) Our Phosphorous and Potassium (Potash) were very high but our nitrogen was lacking. We put a bunch of cow manure in this spring to help bump that up. Our other plants that don't use as much nitrogen still seem to be very happy at the moment.
Thanks for this video. In my opinion it is one of the best you've done so far. Very interesting. Do you think you will eventually need to replace the lost soil on the floor of your barn?
I was thinking about that. I think i it will take a long time. The floor is pretty packed down but I am sure over time I might. Hope to add cerement one day but think that changes how they tax us. Sure would be nice to be able to slide an engine hoist around the floor.
I have really bad soil where I live I am using a mixture of chicken and rabbit manure I hope it works. My first crop is sweet corn and I have a family of 6 and doing this in hopes of feeding my family some organic produce. If it works out ok expand and plant more the following year
So you’re saying to put fresh chicken manure down the middle of the row of course not on the corn but down the middle of the row, My corn is only about 8 inches high right now Thanks for your suggestions this is only the second time I’ve grown corn
We have been pretty fortunate and not had many issues. We try to get our corn in early and use a 72 day crop. In our area if corn is harvested after the first week in August will tend to be at much greater risk.
That's what I was asking about on the phone. Good info brother. My corn is not doing well at all I do not get the sun I need for corn. O well I tryed..
I' in Northwest Ireland. 200 days of rain a year, and heavy cloud cover. People sometimes grow corn here under plastic. Because fresh corn is so darned rare here. I've seen some hoop houses that have had good stands of corn. Worth it in Ireland maybe becasue good corn is hard to come by. Maybe not so much in your locale.
Isn't it funny how you have to have so many disclaimers when posting on RUclips? If we were talking in your backyard over a beer, it would be like "hey, check out how much better the corn does with the fresh chicken s&@#"... None of the nonsense... Although nowadays you might get sued if ya didn't take such precautions....I don't know. Anyhow, thank you so much for your channel. Your doing it right. Love it!
It is not about nitrogen. It is about ammonia. Most grass type plant, such as wheat can tolerate a higher level of ammonia which is toxic to most plants. I plant wheat kernels using fresh chicken manure to avoid them being eaten by rodents.
Oh we have them. It is like a revolving door. My wife and I go out and pull a few every day after dinner. Sort of our chat and get some work done. Just go out and put a little time in each day so it doesn't feel like much work. By the time we have worked our way through it time to start all over. :)

Loved your opening, especially the running over the hay bales.
I have composted directly between my rows for years...saves moving the manure, grass clippings and/or leaves twice!!
I want too try this in between my squash rows
Something so simple, yet I've never thought about it! Going to have to try this.

I have corn thats above the waist right now. Im in southern ca.
Bismillah
Very cool i do the same with my corn and it absolutely loves the nitrogen! thanks for sharing.
Great results you got on that corn ..keep up the great work
Great experiment !! Really like the comparisons you give with the corn - chick manure vs non. . Thanks for sharing!!
Another great video that is helpful, as always. Wonderful that you're willing to experiment and try new things.
Great info! Guess who's moving chicken manure after work today :-) Thank you!!

Great idea! We'll see how it goes for us.
Thank you for the information. Question, can I add the manure to the corn even as it is slowly starting to form the corn cobs? Thanks in advance
Manure for growth, magnesium for the dark green. Chicken manure is high in Mg oxide.
What a difference corn is looking good God bless buddy
Garden looks great, always nice job on the video.
Thank you!
Corn looks great! Thanks for sharing!
Thumbs up for content and the rainbow at 0:57
I didn't notice that until you pointed it out. :)

VERY NICE...What a great test. May I ask what you OM organic matter NUMBER was? Thanks Mark

I really like your videos man. I wish we lived closer I think we'd be good friends.
:) Just think of all the trouble we would get into.
Have you ever used urine? Save your urine and mix it 10 :1 ratio of water, not to burn your crops. Try it and let me know.
such a good quality youtube video!
Its actually straw the chickens nest in and that's sprayed with pesticides that causes the problems.
great experiment. Thanks for sharing . Take care Jonathan
Nice just came across your channel. Nice
How about chicken tunnels between the rows and alternate planting each season ?
That would be a cool experiment. Cover for the chickens from predator birds like halls and eagles late in the season as well. 👍
Toi much flys smell also my manure burnt the plants it was not so fresh
Love it Eric. Thanks.
So you’re saying to put fresh chicken manure down the middle of the row of course not on the corn but down the middle of the row, My corn is only about 8 inches high right now
Thanks for your suggestions this is only the second time I’ve grown corn
GREAT update bro, how do you prevent corn ear worms ?
We have been pretty fortunate and not had many issues. We try to get our corn in early and use a 72 day crop. In our area if corn is harvested after the first week in August will tend to be at much greater risk.
thx for the tips.
I love your videos!!!
Beautiful garden!!!
I'm kinda new to your channel and really enjoy all the videos I have watched. If you don't mind me asking .. What state are you in?
:) We are located in the land of 10,000 lakes (Minnesota)
That's what I was asking about on the phone. Good info brother. My corn is not doing well at all I do not get the sun I need for corn. O well I tryed..

Wow, In our area you see fields of corn or soy beans. Amazing what different challenges different climates bring.
Yeah, got me thinking after talking. Corn is hard to burn and thought I would put the fresh on to see.
great videos..just discovered your channel, Im hooked :)
great info, thanks for sharing

Great video, very interesting. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for watching! :)
So ya it's getting the nitrogen from the side so it's diluted.. makes sense! I guess as long as you didn't put a ton. I'll try it on ours
The dream farm.
high in nitrogen....hmmm...fresh chicken manure is 3% nitrogen?
It is not about nitrogen. It is about ammonia. Most grass type plant, such as wheat can tolerate a higher level of ammonia which is toxic to most plants. I plant wheat kernels using fresh chicken manure to avoid them being eaten by rodents.
Chicken in the corn, so the corn can grow, EH EH EHHH
If it grows any faster it will start to pop. lol. How big is your farm?
CHICKEN ON THE CORN SO THE CORN CAN GROOOW
Great info...Thanks.
When that corn gets about 2/3 ft. High shoot that chicken litter to it and run for the hills cause she's gonna take off. good luck!!!
Chicken in the corn and the corn don't grow
No weeds at all...WOW
Oh we have them. It is like a revolving door. My wife and I go out and pull a few every day after dinner. Sort of our chat and get some work done.

Talk faster.
this video is about shit
