Poo

[Jonthefish]

Having put a surgical glove on, i have been seen once a week collecting wild rabbit droppings to feed my tank of Daphnia. The hard little bullets encourage algae to grow, which then feeds the Daphina.

I was wondering if theres much benifit it sprinkeling some droppings into the top of my pots. Thinking something must dissolve when the water can contents hits the top of the pot?

My sister has guinea pigs and from time to time brings me droppings for the compost heap. These help the compost to rot quicker. I'm wondering if they might be a bit strong to use directly on plants.

Ah good point Wendy, mind you they don't seem to do any damage where they lay on the grass where I pick them up. Maybe I should soak them in water perhaps and use the tea?

I use Rabbit (and Iv'e got lots) bedding on the veg plot, the wet stuff goes on the compost and the dry with pellets straight on the ground with no ill effects. It is the amonia in the wee that does the damage.

Right, a-poo-apicking today then.

You know how to have a good time!

Lol, you have to remember two things, dont answer your phone when your picking. Secondly dont pick the greener/squidgy ones.
