Gidday Well yes old Boots is right about the mulchin bales. But the best results I have had is from lucerne hay as there is no seeds at all in it. As for the high nitrogen stuff, the old chook poop is probably the best you can get next to pig poop. The idea of the high nitrogen is that it helps it d...
