Rabbit waste for composting

Hi- not sure what subject this should be under! I have rabbit waste available on a regular basis for composting. Makes fab compost mixed with your green waste. It is all bagged in clean bags and available at the end of every week. I am a hobby breeder so have quite a number of rabbits. I am in Hoddesdon Hertfordshire(just outside the M25) Hopefully someone is going to be able to make use of it. I will be away until 24th Feb so please bear with me if you should reply to this post. Thanks

    Oh I wish you were nearer!  I used to get guinea pig waste from a colleague, but she moved and I retired.  Rabbit poo makes fantastic compost.

    Rabbit poo (and that of other lagomorphs) is unique inasmuch as it's the only one that can be applied directly to the soil around plants without the risk of burning them.

    Kim - you could try googling contact details for your local Gardening Club, Horticultural Society or Allotment organisation - I'm sure they'd beat a path to your door image

    Do you know the Streetlife website - it's more local than Freecycle

    www.streetlife.com

    a really good community website.  Lots of gardening stuff swapped on our local one (also lost cats, ducks and chickens found etc).
