Why do they say rabbit manure is so much better for gardens than other kinds of farm manure?
There are several reasons: 1.) It is very low in acidity. Manures like chicken manure are high in acidity. Due to being low in acidity it will not burn your plants like many other manures do. 2.) It is very high in nitrogen. 3.) Since domestic rabbits eat rabbit pellets and don’t graze like cattle and horses do, they don’t get weed seeds in their manure like cattle and horses do. 4.) Since rabbit manure comes in small round pellets, it makes it very easy to spread and till into a garden. 5.) Rabbit manure works great for raising redworms. Many rabbit breeders raise redworms in the manure beneath their rabbit cages and sell the worms to help pay for the rabbit feed. The remains from after the worms have used the rabbit manure makes about the best potting soil you can get for African violets. 6.) It really makes tomatoes grow. The world’s largest tomato was grown using rabbit manure to help fertilize it. I use it on my tomato plants and they get about 2-3 times the size my neighbors do.
