How Long Does The Chicken Coop Straw Have To Sit Before Using?

Question

when the chicken coop is cleaned out we stack it around but are not sure how long to leave it so it wont burn veggie beds

Answer 1

If you're using chicken coop hay in the garden, let it chill in a compost pile for a few weeks to a few months. Turn it now and then for quicker breakdown. When it looks all dark and crumbly and doesn't resemble hay anymore, that's your cue – it's ready to boost your garden. Just remember, the longer, the better.
