Anyone ever hear of rabbit fertilizer? There is a guy selling it here in central Texas. They sell it for $5 a gallon mixed 1 gallon to 5 of water. Apply about 10 gallons an acre of the mix. I see some folks use it on a smaller scale for gardens and small parcels, but has anyone tried this on a hayfield? NPK values are high. Just for fun I bought 10 gallons to try on a couple acres I have behind the shop.
 
It can be put on the ground as is, water not necessary, and you would need tonnes of it, like any other manure.

Had no idea there were that many rabbits in the entire state of Texas.

Huh? Why wouldn't there be?--I understand, that they breed like......well...............they breed like rabbits.

(I wonder, instead of applying the mixture to the pasture, if I can cut out the middle step and just feed the rabbit poop directly to the cows?) :hide:
 
My kids rabbit pen the poo falls through onto the yard below and it seems to keep it pretty darn deep green and growing. I never thought of putting in the garden. You gotta have 4 million rabbits to make enough to do a 20 acre field probably and have some effect.
 
You are right B&M. Rabbit manure = 2.4 - 1.4 - 0.6 . That's % NPK or pounds of NPK per hundred pounds of manure for anybody wondering.
 
I always thought chicken litter had the highest N. Just visited a site that said rabbit did, very intresting. I doubt in the quantities were talking about it would do much.
 
There was a man that lived down the road from me. Stopped one day and he had burlap bags cooking in a wash pot. I asked what is going on the he said making manure tea. He scrapped the manure from a concrete feed lot. Of course I asked how to use it. He concentrated to a point it was as black as stump water and diluted that with 5 gallons to 100 gallons of water and sprayed on the foliage. He did have a very good pasture. Not rabbit manure tea but cow manure tea.
 
I think the tea would probably work well on potted plants if every time they needed watering you just poured a gallon of manure tea on them. Last year I grew some plants in buckets of straight composted cow manure and still had to put granular fertilizer on them to get them to grow to their potential.

Off topic, but it reminds me of a story.. Back in the mid 60s, when we lived in town, my mother used to make up a big glass jug of Lipton sun tea, by throwing the tea bags in the jug of water, putting the lid on and setting it out on the back of a car in the sun--it would be ready when suppertime rolled around. 2 days in a row, some butthead kids stopped in the road, ran over and stole the jug of tea off the car. Next day, I saw mom mixing cow manure and water together in a big glass jug and set it on trunklid of the car. I thought it funny but my older sister thought it was a terrible thing for a Christian woman to do. I don't know if anyone took the poohtea, but I made sure I took a good whiff of my iced tea at suppertime after that--before I took a sip.

Ammonium nitrate is 14 times higher. Do you want to buy 1 bag of ammonium nitrate or 14 bags of rabbit manure?

Ingenious scheme if you are selling. I knew a lady who sold cricket shyt. $5/ounce. Specialty product for orchids. She could sell all she could make.
 
I asked my dad this evening, if he'd ever heard of it. He said plenty of people used to fertilize tobacco plant beds that way. I asked if it did any good, he just said, "Poor people have poor ways."
