Is there somthing wrong with my Butternut?

[Bexy]

This year has been a disaster for almost everything within a slugs reach but out of everything i have planted my sweetcorn is going great, my outdoor Cucs and my butternut which i am growing up over a swing seat.

now its in a huge pot with compost and i have fed it aswel with a multi purpose feed but the lower leaves are starting to go yellow ? is this normal ?

I had that problem with Gladys the BNS last year, i think VVG suggested feeding it with comfrey. Could also be rubbishy weather conditions. BNS's are notoriously touch and go. Try feeding with a specific feed. I was advised that BNS love lots of poo and humus in their beds.

would chicken poo be ok ?

Nope. Chicken poop (if you look at the label) is high in nitrogen (which is for leaf growth).

You want to feed the fruits (high potash: like comfrey tea).

Lower leaves do turn yellow on all kind of plants, it's quite normal, not usually anything to worry about.
