putting the poop to use

[mossling]

Do any of you use your bun’s poop as fertilizer? I know it doesn’t need to be composted and can be used as-is, but how?? Do you just sprinkle it on top, or do you work it in to the soil? How often do you add more? Do you remove the old? I know, these are really dumb questions. I have a serious brown thumb, though. My plants are all doing really well right now, and I’m determined to keep it that way! Fox is a serious poop machine, so I figured I should take advantage of all that free fertilizer!

Yes my mom uses it as fertilizer. You can sprinkle or work it in my mom just sprinkles it on top. You can add more every 3-4 weeks. And no you dont remove the old poop. its not dumb ^.^ gope this helped good luck with your plants!

I have a friend with a large garden that will take every bag of bunny waste I can spare and with 12 of the little monsters that’s quite a bit… They fertilize with the poop, mulch their fruit trees with the hay and compost everything else… I use some around my garden too but it’s not as big as theirs.

I don’t know whereabouts you are up here but I tried using my bunnies’ poo as is one year and it even killed off the dandelions!
Maybe in our climate (I’m outside Fairbanks) it needs a little ‘fermentation’ time. :-/

I just sprinkle it around my roses and peonies. I will add a little to my indoor plants pots. It can be mixed with the water used to water plants. If you are preparing a new bed, or digging a hole for a new plant to go in, that would be the time to really dig it into the soil.

MimzMum, we’re back in Anchorage, JBER to be exact. I picked up some wheat grass seed yesterday and mixed some poop in the soil, so we’ll see how it goes!
