Chicken Manure, Anyone?
The SLGC website just received a notice from a Shaker Heights neighbor, Jim Dixon, who asked if anyone wants chicken manure for their gardens. Email Address: james.t.dixon@att.net
Message: “Hello. I am one of Shaker’s many back yard chicken keepers. As such, I tend to have some nice garden fertilizer in abundance. If any of your gardeners would like some, just let me know.”
