Rabbit jump aka bunny honey – natural, organic manure
Why choose rabbit manure?
What is a country without rabbits and partridges? They are among the most simple and indigenous animal products; ancient and venerable families known to antiquity as to modern times; of the very hue and substance of Nature, nearest allied to leaves and to the ground.
Henry David Thoreau
Fresh rabbit droppings, AKA rabbit jump or bunny honey, are 33% organic matter, offer 2.4% nitrogen, 1.4%phosphorus, .6% potassium, and only 43% moisture. As little as 10 pounds would add .2 pounds of nitrogen to the garden.
Rabbit manure has four times more nutrients than cow or horse manure and is twice as rich as chicken manure.
Cow, horse and chicken manure are considered “hot” and need to be composted (well-rotted) to use as fertilizers.
One of the best things about rabbit manure is it doesn’t need to be composted.Rabbit manure is organic matter and improves poor soil structure, drainage and moisture retention.
It improves the life cycle of microorganisms in the soil.
Worms love rabbit manure.It is not as smelly as other manures and is easy to handle.
One doe and her offspring can produce a ton of manure in one year. That’s a lot of bunny honey.
Rabbit manure is packed with nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, minerals and micronutrients. It contains beneficial trace elements such as calcium, magnesium, boron, zinc, manganese, sulfur, copper and cobalt, just to name a few.Nitrogen (N).
Rabbit manure is higher in nitrogen than sheep, goat, chicken, cow or horse manure. Plants need nitrogen to produce strong green growth.Phosphorus (P).
Rabbit manure is also higher in phosphorus than the other manures. It helps with the transformation of solar energy to chemical energy.
Phosphorus also helps plants to withstand stress and contributes to more and bigger blossoms, and is great for root growth.Potassium (K).
Potassium helps with fruit quality and reducing disease; plants will not grow without it.
