Great fertilizer or the best. Good to mix with chicken <deleted> to!

Good as a fertilizer. low salt. The only thing is, you will get every weed imaginable springing up.

True, so get a buffalo to eat. Called recycle

back when we had rubber was always putting poo in the middle of the rows (not around the base of the tree)

This isn't practical for those who have a lot of land (unless, of course, you have a tractor and strayer). 

I chuck 1 or 2 shovel fulls of the stuff into one of those big buckets/small barrels with a lid (think it's 40l). Mix/swirl it good twice a day or drop an air stone into it and leave for a few days. It needs oxygen, hence the swirling / air stone. After a few days you'll have a nice "tea", which can be mixwd with water and subsequently watered on the plants using a simple watering can. Practical only on small gardens/plots of land without the aforementioned tractor and sprayer. What I like the most about this is, I don't have a problem with weeds later, as JWRC correctly pointed out in reply # 3. Plus, as a liquid, it gets to the roots quicker.
