Has anyone tried bat guano?

[SpindriftAli]

My courgettes are starting to get yellow edges on their leaves and I read that it might be due to a nitrogen deficiency and that bat guano is great for this. Has anyone tried it and if so what were the results?

Never tried it & no doubt bat guano is the best fertiliser but probably expensive. If you need nitrogen I tried grass cuttings mixed in with my potatoes & one tomato plant & the leaves were a darker green showing the nitrogen benefits,I prefer to spend not much money so unless I find some in a cave...?

Pee pee pee - sorry needed to increase number of characters before I could post 'pee' wasn't enough

I'm another fan of grass clippings for adding nitrogen, although if the chooks see me putting clippings anywhere other than their run I do get a bit told off

Thanks, my hubby has just cut the grass in the front and back garden so will try that. Hahaha Cadalot I am thinking my hubby thinks I am one too especially when I am talking slug and snail wars and bat excrement, still it makes for a life of smiles living with us eh?

When I read the title I thought it was a new recipe.

I imagine it looks like caviar but tastes like................poo (polite)

There was an episode of Kevin McCloud escape to the wild where families live off grid & one family was on a desert island growing their own & went to collect some bat guano from a cave in the ocean,they had to swim to it & scrape it out,then take it back without it getting wet (on their boat). All four episodes were really good,one family lived next to a live volcano.
