Someone gave me a kitty litter bucket of "several days old fresh chicken manure with wood shavings ' today.....so it not a whole lot
Now since dont have much RURAL property...can I spread it out on old piece of landscape fabric to dry???
should I cover it with straw or black plastic to dry faster???. DOES NOT SMELL TOO BAD, NO NEIGHBOR too close. For now its in bucket with lid opened and a window screen on top
Suggestions please
Thanks
Jean

So why do you want to dry this manure?
Short of running it through an oven the only way you have is to spread it out on a tarp in the sun for several days. I would not bother with that but would add it to my compost pile, or maybe to the garden.
