RABBIT MUCK

[clackvalve]

Hi all,
        I have been composting rabbit muck with grass cuttings for the past year. I have used some in the ground which i put in back in November and when i dug it over again about two weeks ago the ground was full of worms(i mean absolutely loads) and the soil was so crumbly.

Just wanted to know if any one else uses  rabbit muck or any thoughts on it.

a couple of old boys up our allotment say that they wouldnt use it but others say they swear by it.what do you think?

Why wouldn't they use it,    you've proved it works a treat in the soil.

It does amuse me as you hear so many different stories of what people do and how they grow things up at our plot.
 Some stand there toe to toe swearing that their method is best, i think its great that people are so passionate about their veg and that their methods are best.

I need worms (not literally) in my garden.  The fact that your rabbit poo has created lots of them gives me hope for my garden as I also throw the contents of the rabbit hutch into the compost piles.

I have used rabbit and guinea pig poo for years and it has one of the highest nutri contents of all poo's !!It heats upfast as well and the hay is great to so its a win win.

What colour were the worms?
If they are red and strippy the collect them and start a wormary or put them in the compost heap.
Some basic info for you. http://www.plantea.com/manure.htm

We have been using the guinea pig muck, and that is doing the soil a power of good.
Must be similar to rabbit muck.
