Another great bunny-related fertilizer you can use is the pellets they eat (e.g. Kaytee Timothy hay pellets). There are different brands and you can get huge bags (20-40lbs) for just a few dollars. I have a pet bunny and I use his little Cocoa Puffs plus his leftover hay and pellets (he's a super-picky eater, LOL) for my garden. My soil is black gold!
Great video, Jill! We raised rabbits for meat when I was growing up (60+ years ago) and my dad ALWAYS used the resulting manure on his organic garden. Rabbit manure and leaves gave us a GLORIOUS garden! I was raised right, girl, even though I felt deprived of Wonder Bread, Campbells Soup and Green Giant Corn in a tin can 🥴. 🎶 don’t it always seem to go, thatcha don’t know whatcha got til it’s gone 🎵.
So we started a compost area over the summer and I threw tomatoes in there that we'd missed and were rotting or had bad bug damage. I now have tomato plants volunteering in my compost pile in Northern pope county Arkansas! 🤣 so crazy how life begins to regrow anywhere.
Very informative! You're absolutely right about the poultry manure. One of my tomato/pepper beds will not grow them because my husband was having the kiddos dumping it in there when we were building it. I told them not to, but he told them to do it. I couldn't figure out why my pepper transplants kept dieing. We got some purple sugarcane plants from Deep South Homestead. I didn't have any place to plant them and saw they love nitrogen rich soil. They're sprouting there and loving it. I'm hoping they'll fix my bed because they dumped 3 to 4 coops worth in it. That's how we learn. I really want to cave to the kiddos on rabbits with your videos.
I take my eggshells and I put them in the microwave oven for three minutes. Then I crushed them up into a container, and when the container looks full, I put them in my Vitamix mixer and turn them into a powder and then I have jars of that powder to put in my garden.
My 2 little bratty house bunnies give us piles and piles of manure. And then I can grow tons of lettuce to feed the rabbits to make more poo to make more lettuce and round and round we go😂. I love being able to throw it right on the garden while the chicken and horse poo decomposes.
Great presentation you made that easy to understand. I think it's time for us to get some more rabbits. We really enjoy watching you guys and Jess and Miah. Feel uplifted after watching ya'll. We count ya'll as blessings to our family. Keep up the good work and God bless you all
I will have to show you my setup to put our compostable materials in for the garden. Its compost tubes that are directly in the beds. I'll get on insta and send pics
Rabbit manure is really gold I use it mostly in my garden along with composted pig manure. My dad raise and sell rabbits which I find really awesome they're so adorable. Thank you for making a video about this 😊
Thank you dear, very informative but, I never used rabbit manure before however, I'm going to try it. Thank for sharing your video. Happy gardening 🍅🍆🌽🌾🥕🥒🧑🌾 , God bless you and your garden 🙏 blessings from Trinidad 🇹🇹🙏❤️💕 the time
I love my rabbit manure! It is 2x more nutrient-rich than chicken manure! Better than ANY other manure! It is so well rounded with nitrogen, phosphorus, calcium, zinc, manganese, copper and more! Great Video Jill! One large rabbit can produce 14lb of manure in a month! A great return on investment in my opinion lol. How did the kohlrabi hash come out?? You really only need the manure...2 cups per 5gal bucket then fill with water. Easy Peasy!
Hi! I have a indoor rabbit that creates so much manure. I have been hesitate to put it in my garden because it mixes with urine in her cage. Anything that I can could for that? Or is the urine and manure going in the same place ok?
@@allthingsmj the urine is fine as long as you're not putting it directly near any roots. The urine is rich in nitrogen. However, you could always sundry it if that is possible for you. I set out the manure on a lid from a tote, then it would dry for about 3 days. That was the manure that got packaged for sale
Here we use egg shells to give them back to the chickens for calcium 😊 We have one rabbit for now and I would like to keep the manure, but it always comes with lots of hay haha I need to figure out a way to take away the hay 😅
I recently bought a sifter on Amazon, it's round & have 4-5 different sizes that comes with it. I use the large sifter so that tye mature & small pieces of hay fall into a bucket, & the large hay pices stay in the softer. I dump the hay back in with the rabbots, then I use the one with smaller holes, & I tale the manure & small pices & run it back through, so that the manure stays in the sifter & only the small pices fall out. I then am left with only rabbit manure & dump lthat in a separate bucket. It's a good chore for my 10 year old or for me when I'm outside watch the kids play!
Great info! Thanks for sharing. My wife and I have started our compost pile recently and like I said before we are thinking about getting some meat rabbits for meat consumption as well as for their poop for fertilizer. Never really thought about making the tea to spray it. Thanks for sharing. GOD Bless 🙏🏻😇🙏🏻😇
You can put all of your things that you want to compost into your Vitamix mixer and blend them. They compost much faster. But I don’t do that. I give everything that I can to my chickens and they eat it.
I’m so happy to see this video. I recently got 2 rabbits just for the poop! Lol. I also was saving my coffee grounds but they started to mold. I wasn’t sure if I could use them so I threw them away. What do you think about it? Loved this video and will be making this tea! 👍🏼😉🌸💜
This was the POOPIEST video i have ever seen! (LOVED IT) BTW: coffee grounds and kitchen scraps are considered "green" waste. Leaves and grass clippings (dried) are "brown". Shredded newspaper is brown as well. The general ratio for composting is 1/3 green to 2/3 brown in a bin. Maintain that and you will not have it start stinking. If it does... add more brown. I put holes in the bottom (for the worms to enter) and set it on the ground. I set it up on a plant stand to I water it (all living things need water) ... and catch the "worm tea" in a bucket under it for watering or spraying. I love my worms, I do. Thanks for the how to video. I was always told that rabbit poop burned the lawn. Working with landscapers... i now know the rabbits chew it to the ground. Their poop is only evidence it was "them."
GREAT tea! I USE my PET bunny poop in my COMPOST pile. One question...how long will the TEA KEEP? IF I made a bunch would it KEEP for wks or months maybe??
I am a fan of active aerate worm tea and compost tea. Now we have to get rabbits for rabbit tea....errr...rabbit poop tea. lol. Are you using well water or city water? I asked because here our city uses chlorine which can kill the bad and good bacteria that will help feed the microbes in the mix and soil. You can add a vitamin C packet to the water before adding the mix and it will help get rid of the chlorine in the water. Where did you get that bucket from? That seems like a nice airtight food container bucket for dry goods or something. This was a great video. Thanks for sharing.
I am building custom rabbit hutches that have a funnel style catch basin under the wire floor... Which fill 5 gallon buckets with rabbit poo and pee and a little bit of vegetation.. Then pouring those 5 gallon buckets into a poop soup with water in a larger bin that has a 2 inch camlock drain in the bottom.. (lower half of an IBC tote) Then flowing it all through a custom fitted RV macerator originally designed for RV sewer tank. effectively turns this poop soup into liquid rabbit effluent that can then be sprayed or poured directly on the garden.. I'm not sure why but I don't see anybody else doing this....
So I've been worried- is the only threat of using hot manure burning plants or is there a bacteria issue too? I dumped compost that I wasnt sure was finished (had duck waste in it) and had a bunch of volunteers pop up in it. I'm worried about eating any of it now
I am looking into purchasing a few rabbits. My 3 little ones keep asking for one and my garden really benefitted from the rabbit manure that I tried this past season. What kind of rabbits do you have? What feed do you recommend?
Great video! 😀 If we get manure from someone who keeps rabbits, is there anything we should ask about what they feed them? Does that make a difference for usefulness in the garden?
can male rabbits be raised all in the same pen. ? can females be raised all in the same pen? I don't want to have to buy a thousand houses and yards for them.
Does anyone know if chinchilla 💩 is good to use and if so, is it a cold or hot? I have 2 chinchillas and boy do these guys💩 alot lol. Their diet is hay and alfalfa pellets.
I have two litterbox trained house rabbits I keep as pets. I feed them all my veg and fruit scraps and they give me endless fertilizer
This was super helpful to me. My granddaughter has a rabbit ( Luna) and she giggled so hard when i asked her to save her poop. Lol what a fun moment.

That's so true! Thanks for watching :)
Is compost tea better to use than just tossing fresh rabbit poo onto the garden bed? Should I do BOTH or does it matter?
So we started a compost area over the summer and I threw tomatoes in there that we'd missed and were rotting or had bad bug damage. I now have tomato plants volunteering in my compost pile in Northern pope county Arkansas! 🤣 so crazy how life begins to regrow anywhere.
She looks happy and always smiling all throughout the video. I think its an evidence that what she’s doing is working wonders for the plants

I have a bunny who is a family member. He will never be slaughtered or sold. It's a plus for me that I use his poop for my plants.
Just came to say hi from Willow CREST Farm and rabbitry in Alabama!
Hi Willow Crest Farm!
I had to pause the video to tell you that I love this! It's loaded with so much great information!
Thanks Kacey!

Aw thanks Kip!
Great info... I did know horse, cow etc. was hot. But I didn't know chicken manure was. Thanks
Very informative! Next purchase for our homestead will definitely be rabbits!!
awesome!
I will have to show you my setup to put our compostable materials in for the garden. Its compost tubes that are directly in the beds. I'll get on insta and send pics
May I see too?
I'd love to see!
Awesome Whitney, thank you!
Excellent rabbit poo tutorial!
Thank you for sharing!!!! It sounds so intimidating but you break it down to where I feel like I can do it.

Hi Stacy, Thanks for watching!
I have a pet bunny. His name is Prince Charming. I will try to make cold compost of his poop for my roses😉. Thank you for sharing.
O my 😮 so glad that I came across this great info👏
So sad that I was throwing out this GOLD all those years, instead of feeding my plants
Glad it was helpful!

Jill send poop. Ha Ha. thanks for sharing this it was very interesting. God Bless.
This is going to be amazing for your garden 🌸🦋🌸
I used to live in Quitman...small world. Great video...subscribed.
Small world indeed. We actually really liked the town
I use bokashi composting for meats. After a couple weeks i add it to regular compost.
I had no idea u can order rabbit manure🤭
Another good one Jill! Have you heard anything about when our t shirts will ship out? Thanks!
Hey! Yes i just received mine today, so you guys should be getting them sometime next week!
You can put all of your things that you want to compost into your Vitamix mixer and blend them. They compost much faster. But I don’t do that. I give everything that I can to my chickens and they eat it.
Thank you 😍😍😍
You made this very interesting!! It’s something I’ve never done before.. but it looks so easy!! Thank you!😜
Aww, thanks for watching Mimi!
Great info Jill. I may have to buy a rabbit or two as pets for their manure.

Also you can fill a 5 gallon bucket with city water and let it rest for 24 to 48 hours without the lid and the chlorine will evaporate.

Got five gallons of bunny gold from my uncle earlier. 😂
Score!!
@@WhisperingWillowFarm it started out as ten gallons but his tomatoes looked like they needed some help.
😂 you couldn’t be stingy. I hope the bunny gold does your garden well
Very informative! Thank you for sharing. Who would have thought. 😂 🐰💩 😂
Great video
Thank you this was very helpful!!!
You're welcome and let me know how your plants do when you use it
Would it make any sense to water the garden with the liquid tea and then put the solid remainder in the compost bin?
Absolutely
Are you saying all the used grounds you got from Starbucks was organic coffee?
Not at all
So... I have an acquaintance... who raises rabits... how odd would it be if I message her and ask for all her rabbit poop? 💩 🤔 🤣 #givemeyourpoop
Comfrey is supposed to be really good for compost tea.
wow wonderful
So I've been worried- is the only threat of using hot manure burning plants or is there a bacteria issue too? I dumped compost that I wasnt sure was finished (had duck waste in it) and had a bunch of volunteers pop up in it. I'm worried about eating any of it now
How long can you store this compost tea? Does it go bad, as in reduce in quality?
You can put the poo right into the dirt. Don't have to do anything with it. 👍
Can this help with indoor gardening or will bring bugs? I'm worried about spider mites

Hi, we have New Zealand, and Rex's, and we feed ours Purina's fiber three!
Great video! 😀 If we get manure from someone who keeps rabbits, is there anything we should ask about what they feed them? Does that make a difference for usefulness in the garden?
No, their feed does not matter.
@@WhisperingWillowFarm awesome! Thanks for replying 😀
Most if not all, rabbits are given pellets and hay from different providers
@@griseldaosorio9664 thanks! 😀
Hi, so do you sell the manure as is, or the composted after product?
Would you use this for seedlings?
Not you dont use compost tea til they are in veg.
Fish is great to just take out and bury in your garden. I do this with my fish heads and guts and holy shit talk about adding to the garden
can male rabbits be raised all in the same pen.
? can females be raised all in the same pen? I don't want to have to buy a thousand houses and yards for them.
Great question. Males can live together in a large enough area. I would keep the females separate
What does rabbit nure do for moles?
I have sheep. Is that a dry or wet manure?
Sheep is a dry manure.
@@WhisperingWillowFarm Thank you!
Master gardeners say Compost everything. Just learn the proper ways to do so.
Does anyone know if chinchilla 💩 is good to use and if so, is it a cold or hot? I have 2 chinchillas and boy do these guys💩 alot lol. Their diet is hay and alfalfa pellets.
Hi Jennian, chinchilla poop is like a rabbit- you are good to use it as fertilizer :)
Hi
