Bunny poop

[BayouBengal55]

I have 9 rabbits right now. I've been doing my research and everything I've read is incredibly positive BUT.... I could not find anything specific to auto flower strains and was wondering if any of you guys have ever added it to your soil before? If so, what were the results?

Also, I've found some grayish (about 1 inch long) worms in some of the poo. Is it OK to add them to my soil?

Rabbit dropping are an effective way of enhancing many things actually Photo Auto dont matter thats entirely separate.What you should be concerned about are pathogens as you would be with any product such as this.even with such things as even Blood meal and the like.Thats why most ppl will tell you to Hot compost your stuffs man.and thats my recommendation as well.I think they'll work truly outstanding but look into composting them first or compost them with a blend of ready to be composted materials..Natural enzymes tend to blend a lil better from what ive seen imo.so the longer you blend it and work it the better its gonna be with and said soil,tea whatever. I dont compost my own stuff...yet anywho. so I cant help ya with that but it's fairly straight forward dude. Best of luck man.Oh and the worms..?eh dunno what they are unless I see em.but I aint a bug guy either really.but composting them should be just fine.adding droppings fresh to a tea is lightly effective and the pathogens are still more active so that should be avoided.compost your wastes and dropping and you'll find they'll be as good or better than all that positive info ya been seein. not sayin its gonna happen but yet should always be thought on dealing with fresh wastes and diy composting.The hott composting will kill the worms break down into food and turn into some great stuff."AFN smoke out" hope that helps ya man.

Rabbit dropping are a very good source of nutrients but should be well composted before mixing into soil. Rabbit urine is very high in nitrogen, so besides the droppings, also compost all the bedding materials. If you're composting outdoors and plan on using it indoors I would suggest that you sterilize it first to avoid bringing any unwanted insects or pests indoors. Spread it out on a pan, about 2" deep, and baking it for about 20 minutes in an oven set to 180 degrees will do the trick.

You can use rabbit poo straight as a soil condition and to add nutrients but it takes time to break down. If you are planning to growin the same place for years, like a garden, then till some in every spring but if you want to grow a big plant you will need to compost your poo to make the nutrients more readily available.

I wouldn't recommend this since fresh droppings are very hot. Hot soil mixes can be very hard on autos, especially seedlings. Even off the shelf mixes like Fox Farms Ocean Forest, which contain composted worm castings and guano, are too hot for most auto strains.

Actually bunny poo isnt a hot manure and you can add it straight without any problems, but nutrients wont be immediately available like composted manures would be. Worms LOVE it tho, Ive got SERIOUS worm population in my garden. One problem you might have, that could be mistaken for nutrient burn could be increased salinity, especially if there is significant amounts of dried urine mixed in with the solid waste. If you want to use rabbit poo directly on plants, I would suggest putting it in a plant pot, with holes in the bottom, somewhere away from your garden and rinsing it off well with a hose to remove dissolved salts, before adding it to your plants.

Another bonus to raising rabbits is that they are good to eat! Also they will eat a lot of garden waste, so you dont have to stuff excess plant materials into your dumpster, talk about a great way to recycle!

[h=4]Rabbit Pellets[/h]Gardeners worldwide consider rabbit manure to be one of God’s gifts to mankind. The manure of rabbits is an easy-to-use fertilizer, which constitutes 2.4% nitrogen, 1.4% phosphoric acid, and 0.6% potash.
Unlike in the case of other manures, it is not necessary to age rabbit manure prior to application. Apply it around plants while it is still fresh as it is not harmful in its natural state.
