Question
Can rabbit droppings (feces) be used in the garden. Do I have to let them age or can I just them fresh. Are there any plants that I should avoid using rabbit droppings on? Thanks for any help
Hello Michelle
Rabbit droppings are High in Nitrogen, most cases even Higher than Poultry. As a rule, no Manure should be used Fresh, it should always be allowed to age. You can Mix this with regular Compost, or in "VERY" small Quantities in its whole form. This is OK to use on all Plants, but remember it is high in Nitrogen, so on certain plants, Flowers as an example, you may get a lot of Top Growth with reduced Flower production. But on something like an Ornamental, or Turf Grass, it is Idealy suited
The Best of Luck
