The Miracle of Bunny Manure

As all bunny people know (but not necessarily the normal population:)), rabbit manure is just about the best thing you can put on a garden. We have been using it for many years at our house now (in addition to other stuff donated by the chickens), and the fertility has just increased every year. The very best thing about bunny pellets is that they can be applied to a garden perfectly fresh without any aging whatsoever, and those breeders who do not use hay, (especially), are literally able to scrape it out of the cage pans and onto the garden beds. We use quite a bit of hay here because of the breed I raise, but that works too as long as there is a compost pile somewhere that gets turned fairly regularly in order to kill the weed seeds before they get applied. Since we only compost the garden once or twice a year, we need to have a central location to store manure from all those bunnies, and so there are 3 homemade bins in the back that get rotated from year to year, generously filled with a wheelbarrow of manure everytime I dump my pans:).

Below today I have posted a few pictures of this year's garden (just to illustrate the potency of this wonderful stuff), and there are herbs and vegetables followed by perennial garden flowers, all of which have positively thrived on the magic of bunny poop. See?:)

More next time as I try to come up with something interesting to talk about (since the well occasionally runs dry, LOL:-)). The babies are eating and growing, and I will try to get some pics of some of the youngest up and coming litters next time.

Have a great week!
