Rabbit manure

[HuntinJake_23]

Saw a listing on Craigslist for rabbit manure (pellets) for gardening. Anyone have any experience with it or opinions?

Its very good manure and doesnt burn your plants when fresh. Many organic gardeners use it. Make sure they are not feeding the rabbits hay sprayed with grazon.

That about sums it up. Supposed to be some of the best there is. Most folks on Craigslist seem to be real proud of it though.

Often heard that raising fish worms goes along with raising rabbits. Meat,fertilizer, and fish bait. That’s a triple lick!

It's a 2-1-1 fertilizer so I hope you get it cheap

That sounds about right. I generally think of animal manures as a 2-2-2 product as most are right around that plus or minus. I believe the added benifit of soil building and attracting earth worms and soil life makes up for the low numbers, as compared to mined/manufactured fertilizers. I do feel folks are a little proud of these manures right now. I dont buy any as i make my own?

It depends, rabbit is usually 2-1-1, chickens are usually 3-2-2 or 3-2-3, they sure seem proud of it, but somebody has to be crazy enough to pay for composted sorghum as well since that is being sold as a fertilizer as well.

Yes my dad raised rabbits. If we needed fish bait. We just used a shovel to turn over the rabbit droppings pile.
