• Rabbit Manure, often called “garden gold” or “bunny honey,” is a nutrient-rich, “cold” fertilizer that can be applied directly to plants without burning them. It is especially beneficial for leafy greens, nitrogen-loving vegetables (tomatoes, peppers, corn), flowering perennials, and container plants due to its high nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) content.

    Plants Benefiting from Copper Poo

    Vegetables & Leafy Greens: Highly beneficial for plants needing quick growth, including lettuce, cabbage, broccoli, and spinach, due to high nitrogen levels.

    Fruiting Crops: Excellent for tomatoes, peppers, and cucumbers as it enhances soil nutrients for better flowering and fruiting.Flowers & Landscaping: Boosts flowering and growth for roses, perennial flower beds, and shrubs.

    Container Plants & Houseplants: Improves soil structure, moisture retention, and provides essential nutrients like nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium (NPK).

    How to Use Copper Poo

    Plant type:Measurements:
    Potted PlantsMix 1-2 Tablespoons in the soil before planting or sprinkle lightly on top and water.
    Garden BedsSpread a thin layer and mix into soil before planting.

    Direct Application: As a “cold” manure, it can be applied directly to the soil or as a top-dressing around plants.Potting Mix: It can be added to potting soil for added fertility (e.g., eight parts soil, four parts peat moss, one part rabbit manure).

    “PooTea”: Soak droppings in water for a few days to create a liquid fertilizer to pour around plants.

    Soaking bags: Use a bag made of Muslin Drawstring, Small Cheese Cloth Cotton for Straining or Unbleached Cheesecloth Herb Sachet. This works best when you want just the “PooTea” and not have to strain poo pieces.

    Mulch: Use it as a mulch around trees and flower beds, as it breaks down easily. Because it is high in beneficial trace elements (zinc, calcium, magnesium, etc.) and breaks down quickly, it is a safe and odorless organic option.

    Here is a quick reference on which plants benefit from Rabbit Manure, and which don’t.

    Why? These plants are heavy feeders, need lots of nutrients because they are fast growersWhy? These plants still like Rabbit Manure. However, the amount used needs to be lesser. Too much nitrogen can make plants soft, bitter or overly leafy.

    NOTE: For the “dislike” list as a rule of thumb for these plants its best if:

    • Composted or Aged manure first
    • Mix into soil BEFORE planting.
    • Avoid heavy fresh application
    • Food safety concerns if you eat these raw. Be sure to clean your veggies thoroughly before consumption.

    Simple Cheat Sheet:

    • Fruiting plants —Go Heavy
    • Leafy greens —Go Light/Compost first
    • Root Crops —- Compost Only
    • Herbs — Minimal use
    • Dry Climate plants — AVOID

    How often to fertilize plants?

    Whether you’re using Bunny pellets, grounded poo, or “Poo Tea” it can be applied directly to gardens without burning plants, ideally added every 30–45 days.

    Storage

    Keep in a cool, dry place. Preferably not in a pantry or in your kitchen. Keep out of reach of children. Reseal after each use.
