Poo is high in Nitrogen, if you're growing tomatoes or peppers you'll want to start off with it (it encourages strong, leafy growth), but then hold off on it once it starts fruiting since leaf production is what you don't want.Yup, suddenly I am an amazing gardener... Try squashes (butternut and spaghetti) if you haven't yet. Just like tomatoes they are very duck poo friendly. But I think you have to stop on the tomatoes when you want them to ripen. I had a weird problem last year that they kept growing but wouldn't turn red (or yellow on the ones that are meant to ripen yellow.) I. Going to test that next summer.
At that point I either use a fertilizer with more phosphorous/potassium or I just don't bother fertilizing at all
