Yates AgriBoost: Composted Chicken Manure Pellets for the Garden

Yates AgriBoost is an organic-based fertiliser made from composted chicken manure, pressed into pellets for clean, even spreading. It's a high-nutrient natural fertiliser and soil conditioner in one, with an analysis of N 3.5%, P 1.1% and K 1.6%. The pellets release nutrients slowly while improving moisture retention and microbial activity in the soil. It's a BFA registered product and a certified input for organic production, suiting lawns, vegetables, flowers, fruit trees, shrubs and landscaping. Available in 1kg, 2kg, 4kg and 25kg.

Does Chicken Manure Make Good Fertiliser?

Yes. Chicken manure is one of the most nutrient-rich animal manures, with higher nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium than cow or sheep manure. It also adds organic matter, which improves soil structure, moisture retention, microbial activity and earthworm numbers. Composted pellets like AgriBoost give you those benefits in a cleaner, more consistent and easier-to-spread form than raw manure.

Composted Pellets vs Raw Chicken Manure

Raw chicken manure is high in ammonia, which can burn plant roots and leaves, and it can carry weed seeds and bacteria. AgriBoost is made from composted chicken manure, so it's safer to use around plants, releases nutrients slowly, and has a reliable analysis printed on the bag. Pellets are also far less dusty and smelly than raw manure.

Chicken, Sheep or Cow Manure: Which Is Best?

• Chicken manure: the most nutrient-rich, so a little goes a long way. Great for hungry vegetables, lawns, roses and fruit trees.
• Sheep manure: gentler and lower in nitrogen, a good all-round soil builder.
• Cow manure: lower in nutrients, used mainly as a bulky soil conditioner.

For a strong organic feed in pellet form, composted chicken manure pellets are a practical choice.

What Plants Benefit from Chicken Manure?

• Leafy greens, tomatoes, corn and other hungry vegetables
• Lawns, for steady green growth
• Roses, flowering shrubs and annuals
• Citrus and other fruit trees
• Garden beds being prepared for planting

Avoid using it on phosphorus-sensitive natives such as grevilleas, banksias and hakeas. Chicken manure can also raise soil pH slightly over time, so take care on already alkaline soils.

How to Use Chicken Manure Fertiliser

• Garden beds and lawns: spread about 70g per square metre (about one adult handful).
• Roses and ornamental shrubs: about 100g per square metre every 6 to 8 weeks from spring to mid autumn.
• New plantings: mix 200g to 500g into the planting hole.
• Vegetable beds: work the pellets into the soil before planting.
• Established plants and fruit trees: spread around the root zone as a top dressing, keeping a small gap from stems and trunks.
• Rake in lightly and water in well after every application.
• Use in moderation, as too much at once can still burn plants.

Safety

Like other bagged organic products, AgriBoost contains organic material that may hold micro-organisms. Wear gloves, avoid breathing in dust, and wash your hands after use. The 25kg bag is heavy, so lift with care. Store sealed in a cool, dry place.
