Rabbit Manure

[Ruud]

Hi

Is it ok to use rabbit manure directly raked into the soil on a raised bed that will contain
carrots
spring onions
beatroot

And if it is ok is it best to do it now

Thanks

....depending upon how much of the manure you have it may cause your carrots to 'fork' their roots. Apart from that go for it.....as long as its just manure or manure / straw mix. If its manure / wood shavings this may rob your soil of nitrogen if applied sufficient quantities. This would be better off being composted first.

Compost the manure.
None of those crops needs any feeding

I wouldn't use it fresh - stick it on the compost heap to rot down.

mine all goes in our compost bins though we have dug it into the garden int he past over the winter but not fresh as its too strong
