How I use Rabbit manure as fertilizer

Rabbit manure for me is absolute gold because unlike it’s counterpart(chicken manure) it can be be used quickly in your garden or even your farm.

Because Rabbit manure has an N-P-K of 2.4-1.4-0.6 and is considered as a cool manure,(because of it’s lower nitrogen content), it firstly can be applied directly to your garden. You can mix it in with your soil before transplanting or direct seeding or you can simply put it around the roots of the plants that need a little help.

For example I take a handful of the rabbit manure and put it around the roots of cabbage, lettuces and other leafy greens without getting it on my plants, mostly because I hate how it looks when it touches my plants.

Within a week you can see differences in the color of the leaves, the root systems become stronger and even a little fruit production(eventually of course).

The next way I use rabbit manure for fertilizer is by making a tea(not for drinking of course lol). To make the tea I take a 5 gallon bucket, fill it with a one-third of rabbit manure(1/3) and then fill it to the brim of the bucket with some type of dechlorinated water.

This dechlorinated water could be tap water that has been left out in the sun for 2-3 days, it could be well water or even rain water .

When the manure and the water has been added to the bucket I slowly stir it with a stick and then let it sit for a month. After a month it should be stinky, it should be dark but packed with nutrients.

I usually apply this as a 1:3 ratio when fertilizing, meaning for every 3 cups of water I use 1 cup of the rabbit manure tea in my watering can,about once a week to my garden.

Adding this rabbit manure tea allows the plants to have access to nutrients faster, thus you could see growth overnight(I sure have)

NB:// If you want a supercharged rabbit manure tea add spoilt milk(which adds the lactobacillus bacteria to quickly break it down). When you add the spoilt milk, the rabbit manure can be used in 2 weeks instead of a month.

Lastly I use rabbit manure as fertilizer by adding it to my compost(hot or cold). I normally do cold composting so I can only speak on this. To make this short when cold composting I don’t worry about greens or browns ratio ,I just add what I have. So for my compost I add rabbit manure, leaves, regular garden soil, kitchen scraps(keep the pile wet) and nature and the worms deal with it.

After about 4 to 6 months when it’s dark and crumbly, I add a fresh pile of rabbit manure compost to my garden and the my garden sings to the heavens.

That’s it for now, if you have any questions just leave them below.
