Can rabbit bedding/sawdust/hay/straw be used on the garden? I heard somewhere that it can as there are no meat products...
I heard somewhere that it can as there are no meat products surrounded by it and it would make natural fertiliser but I'm not sure. I'm unsullied to gardening and have a massive overgrown expanse which I have to at lowest possible tame some of. This seemed approaching a good way of getting rid of rabbit rubbish fairly than just binning it.
I other use it on my garden, and it does wonders to the soil I find. Just beware of any left over seeds surrounded by it..I find sometimes little patches of sprouts in amongst the hay if I hold not taken out the raw seed up to that time laying it.but it's all suitable for us though, we just pull them up and impart them back to the rabbit...Jnr loves his sprouts! http://youranswers.burn.at
you can get much information surrounded by this website, If you will check anyone blue link in website.
It is very useful and nutritious on the garden, but first, get sure you compost it so that at least some of the weed seeds surrounded by the hay are killed.
Make a large pile; put in any kitchen vegetable scraps to it and other garden leafy debris. Leave it for a few weeks next turn it over so the outside is in the middle and vice versa. If it gets dry add on some water. Or, you can use a commercial compost bin.
If will make fantastic rich nutritious compost that you can use to rearrange your soil.
Answers: Actually all of i.e. good for it exept possibly the sawdust...if the saw dust is from man processed wood such as osb,particle board, glue plywoods etcetera..I wouldn't use it due to the formaldehydes and other chemicals used to make it..also real fine sawdust will catch extremely compact after watering a few times and axctually hinder your plants root growth..I used to grow potatoes by filling and stacking old-fashioned tires as the potatoes grow higher(they grow straight up using this method) and could not use ANY WOOD other than wood shavings and sawdust from a cabinet shop that used nothing but solid wood..they used no partickle boards, plywoods etcetera as mentioned above..I do want to be ingestion poisons and contaminants..I have gardened all my enthusiasm..
Yes you can... and I do exactly that.
I brought a compost bin a while ago and reading up on it you can use the sawdust and droppings in the compost. Obviously it needs to be used contained by the ratio that the other items your adding... for example you cant put a heep of sawdust in and solitary a few potato peelings.. it needs to be balanced.
Adding the right mixture, within 6-9 months time you can use the compost on your garden. This saves waste by throwing it surrounded by the bin!
Note that they do advise against large amounts of report paper if you lay that down for the rabbits... the print makes it difficult to compost.

Hope this helps!
Yes, very good for a compost heap/soil.
Remember, blustery rabbits pepper the fields with their droppings. Natures road of spreading around soil compost.
They are in fact, `Organic fertilizer pellets`! The sawdust or hay also will rot briskly on a compost heap - again, a natural
rotting environment.
surely!!... wonderful stuff!.compost it first to break down the hay. or spread it straight on the garden and watch the worms go at it. yes it can
