Bat Guano!

[smallblueplanet]

unconcerned recommended bat guano (on the 'bat poo' thread) for growing his chillis. I did a bit of googling for info but most links I can find are for hydroponic growing of (shall we say) 'erbs!

Has anyone used it as a fertilizer, I thought I might try it on our pot grown chillis and aubs.

No - but our village church has a bat roost in the summer. The team of cleaners get fed up of having to sweep the chancel floor every morning. I might offer to join the team and get them saving it for me!

The word "guano" always makes me laugh, remember the sea gull variety was mentioned in a meeting I was in once (it makes a terrible mess!) and I was too embarrased to ask what it was and assumed it was a technical term - only later I discovered it was just a posh way of saying poo!

As a kid I mixed up the words guano and guava. Didn't end up having to eat guano though!
