G'day All, Les Gornall (who is sometimes a participant here) once said that Chicken manure was his favourite substrate (I guess the smell is not as bad as pig manure!). It appears that the microbes can acclimate/adjust to higher nitrogen (don't ask me how, I'm just an engineer, but I think it has to do with pH and probably microbial ecology!).
