So i've got four ducks, my little babies, and i just want to know how we could use their waste to help fertilize. normally when we pour their kiddie pool out, it just ruins the grass. any ideas?

Really? When my ducks were using a tub, wherever I dumped duck water, the grass did better.

Hummmm....
Maybe you need to dilute the duck water.

Are you pouring it in different spots each time?

I even took poopy pine shaving and used it to help sprout seeds. It may have to do with your water too. Ours is very alkaline.

In that case, I would start a compost pile and pour your duck water on that. Then you can age it and whatever else you have in the pile before spreading it on garden beds, etc...
