Meet my Rabbit Peatie
What I hear you say, ( Rabbits) and gardening. When people think of rabbits and gardening they think of pest that are destroying and eating everything in sight. While this is and can be true in a lot of cases especially with wild rabbits. But domesticated rabbits can actually be very beneficial to your garden rather what comes out the other end of rabbits. Yep rabbit poop it's a natural fertilizer, any animal that is a herbivore produces beneficial waste that can be turned into valuable compost for your garden.
It's a win-win situation the rabbit gets fresh organic vegetables as well as you and your family, and you get free compost and fertilizer. I mean what could be better? These little poop machines produce massive amounts of manure which can then be aged and turn into compost to be used in a garden. It is important to note that using direct manure from the animal is not recommended, but can be used if desired as it is not a hot manure and will not burn your plants.
