In 2015, in efforts to address the matter before leaving office, Maryland Governor Martin O'Malley put a new regulation into use that "would have limited the amount of poultry manure that Eastern Shore farmers can use on their fields". But the high nitrogen in the chicken manure is dangerous to plants if the manure has not been properly composted.

Each of these chicken sheds contains 25 birds and are moved their length every day, providing fresh ground for the hens to feed on and also ensuring that the chicken manure is spread across the whole field. Composting - Scatter a handful of pellets into each layer of garden waste added to the compost heap to enrich the compost and add trace elements. Studies have shown that seaweed can produce dramatic results in plants, including a 40 percent increase in yield from cucumbers and potatoes.

To keep your topsoil organic we suggest pulling up common weeds, when and if they appear, instead of using chemical weed-killers. This publication will help the reader understand how to garden more efficiently in the Mojave Desert and in other dry areas.

Composting “cools” the manure and litter material, meaning it reduces the ammonia content so it will no longer burn plants.
