My first question is this--I have a spot picked out for a veggie
garden, lots of sun, good drainage, etc...My intention is that while
it
is still warm here in NJ (unbeilable, will still be in the 50's this
week!), I would like to turn the soil over. No problem with that,
right? Now, I have two pet bunnies....and I know i can use their
manure without a problem, no need to wait. Here is the
question--they
are bedded with pine shavings (the kind you use for horses), and the
manure is mixed in. Any problem with adding this to the existing
soil????

No problem at all. Rabbit poo is excellent. And the manure will help
to break down the shavings and add humus to the soil. However, if I
was in your situation, I'd put it on top of the soil in a thickish
layer and leave it that way till spring arrives in your hemisphere and
then I'd dig it in.

The way I'd go from then onis to always have a bit of ground in the
preparation stage and put the new fresh bunny poo on that and leave it
to age for a while. I assume you also use it round the roses?? It'd
be good for them too.
