Duck pond water?

[NewEnglandFarmer]

We've got 3 ducks that have a little swimming pool in their condo. Typically after a day of use there's a fair bit off duck waste in the water. Thinking this would be very beneficial to my plants but just wanted to check first in case anybody's had any bad experiences doing this. My research suggests that duck poop isn't nearly at "hot" as other poultry and can be applied to plants with no worries (NPK is apparently something like 2-1-1).

I'm growing organically outdoors and am just starting the transition to flower. Thinking the plants might really enjoy some duck pond water right now.

Living soil will handle those fine.

Should I do a trial on a plant or two and see how they like it?

I cant see that ever hurting

Yes. Trial and control group, especially if you have clones. That removes the plant variability factor.

Alright, I just watered everything today but later this week I'll give it a try and report back. My hunch is they will absolutely love the stuff.
