Rabbit fertilzer nature's best organic manure

NPK (Nitrogen, Phosphorous, Potassium) CHART - Organic fertilizers and soil amendments
Manures	N	P	K	Comments
Rabbit manure	2.4	1.4	0.6	Most concentrated of animal manures in fresh form.
Cow manure	0.6	0.2	0.5	Often contains weed seeds; should be hot composted.
Steer manure	0.7	0.3	0.4	Often contains weed seeds; should be hot composted if fresh
Chicken manure	1.1	0.8	0.5	Fast acting, breaks down quickest of all manures. Use carefully, may burn; Also stinks like hell - composting definitely recommended.
Horse manure	0.7	0.3	0.6	Medium breakdown time.
Duck manure	0.6	1.4	0.5	very low nitrogen levels
Sheep manure	0.7	0.3	0.9	very low phosphorous levels
Worm castings	0.5	0.5	0.3	50% organic material plus 11 trace minerals; Great for seedlings; will not burn; Is a form of compost so does not need composting.

Note: It is recommended to first compost any fresh manure before you use it for two reasons:

2. to break down the manure to make it more usable to the plant (and reduce the smell.)

Note: Some chemical fertilizers will suggest they are more powerful than organic fertilizers and will offer higher N-P-K numbers

Rabbit manure is actually far better because it contains large amounts of organic matter, so it feeds and builds the soil while

it nourishes the plants. This is one of the primary ways that organic fertilizers have a leg-up on chemical ones.

Still, people can't resist comparing the numerical amounts listed above with what they read on packages of synthetic fertilizers.

Unfortunately, the values of manure and organic fertilizers in general, are often based on the relative amount of nitrogen, phosphoric acid and

potassium they contain. While these are important elements, "it is misleading to make a direct comparison between farm manures and chemical

fertilizers on the basis of the relative amounts of N-P-K," says Jerry Minnich, author of Rodale's Guide to Composting. Just like we need

to eat to maintain our health, soil needs continual replenishment of its organic matter to decompose into humus.

Humus helps create a rich, moisture-retaining soil and makes nutrients available to plants.
