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.
