Here's another good rule of thumb. If you want really good foodplots without all the guesswork of soil tests, liming, etc., just apply about 100 pounds of chicken $#!+(litter)per acre. It's got all the right ingredients built right in, and it's cheap as dirt.

Chicken Litter should be applied at about 2000# per acre to get any useful amount of P and K. It's main advantage is adding organic matter back to soil that is depleted. Their is a lot of research going on right now with chicken litter compared to commercial fertilizer. The cost of hauling and applying it not cost effective compared to commercial products.
