I have rabbits and use their poo as fertilizer for my vegetables. As you can see...it works wonders.
Broccoli and Cabbages
Green Beans and Corn

Peppers and Celery
Cauliflower and Marigolds
Tomatoes

I have never seen so many flowers on one stem before!

Potatoes love it too!
Let's not forget the herb garden-rhubarb on the end.

I ask not for a larger garden, but for finer seeds.
I get up every morning determined to both change the world and have one hell of a good time. Sometimes this makes planning my day difficult.

Diane your garden looks so neat, tidy, & productive!
Would you mind posting another pic or describing how you stake your tomatoes with the string?
What is on the top?
I have some very nice cages from Gardener's supply, but not nearly enough.
Thanks! |

Lovely Diane! We use poo too. But not rabbit. Our poo is a bit messier. : )
I love a neat garden. Yours looks well loved!

Wow Diane! I want a garden like that. That's amazingly pretty and so neat and clean and my goodness, I love it. That's like my dream garden right there. Or maybe I need some rabbits.

HEY!!!! I have a rabbit! Well, at least my son does. Question...would I seperate the poo from the potty filling we have in it---the absorbant wood chips. I would think the urine would not be good but I am no gardener!
and ditto---your garden is the neatest one I have ever seen! Lovely!

I have a pet indoor rabbit and in fact started a business because of him. I take all of his poo and pee in the wood chips and dump it right into my compost pile and have for the six years we have had him (Oggie, my name on here is his name). It also helps you to have tons of worms which is also great for a garden.

Beautiful garden! I use my rabbit's poo in my flower garden. I like using it because it does not burn my plants like our horse manure will if not aged well enough.

I don't seperate it either. Sometimes I will scoop out just poo to top dress the veggies.

Your garden shows how much you love it by the way it is growing. I know it must take lots of work. Thank you so much for sharing.

Bunny Poo is great for bringing worms into your garden too! If worms don't help with your gardening (and the worms should) they will be there to dig up and take fishing!
