Why not both, living soil and worms? I wouldn't waste it on the compost pile, the horse is plenty. If there is a fair amount, it would be well worth the effort to snag enough for both.Thanks grease. Would it be better to put the rabbit manure in my living soil and let the worms take care of it, or put it in my worm bins, or should I put it in my compost pile?
Hey grease. Thought I would give the layering a try. Moistened composted birch leaves followed by a layer of crumbled horse manure with about 10 worms per level of manure. Filled up the 5 gallon bucket with 5 layers this. Gonna be interesting to see what comes of it.wise old hippy farmer once said
"plops need composting, pebbles are good right out the ass"
so rabbit manure is ok fresh, horsemanure i'd use as a nitrogen input for a compost.
if you layered leaves and horse manure it'd be a damn good compost when finished.
but rabbit manure is a FAR superior nutrient than horse manure
like 3-4 times better
a nutrient tea? Sure, but ideally a topdress or in the soil would be perfect.I have a rabbit and he def poos a lot...I have 5 5 gal buckets of his poop waiting on me...how much would you add to a aact ..5 gal worth ...and how muh would you add to your soil mix for every 50 gal of soil...any recommendations
if you can compost and layer (like what you are doing) in a fabric pot, that's what i'd do. I'd be afraid of anaerobic conditions (not only can rob your nutrients but kill worms)Hey grease.

I plan on adding it to my soil but mostly using it as a top dress....I was just wondering what a good amount for a tea would be is allI wouldn't use it as an AACT
a nutrient tea? Sure, but ideally a topdress or in the soil would be perfect.
for every 50 gallons (that's about 3 cubic feet) i'd have at least 6 cups of it
but a LOT of that is determined by your existing soil recipe/ingredients
but kelp meal and rabbit manure, alone, will grow some damn fine herb
not much needed past that.
Except lots of humus and aeration (obviously)
cuz more often than not adding nutrients to a microbe tea disrupts/lowers the microbe numbersWhy not an aact btw?...or just an aerated tea
@greasemonkeymann , sounds like something I would like to try. Do you know what ratio the old school farmer used the rabbit manure and kelp meal?side note.
yrs ago I knew a old-school farmer that grew in nothing but rabbit manure and kelp meal.
NOTHING else.
and his herb was fantastic, some of the best outdoor ever.
he did a run with alpaca manure too
evidently alpaca and rabbit manures are similar in their macro values
