Â* Free for hauling it off ! My neighbor raises rabbits , and he figures
3 wheelbarrows full of droppings/bedding is enough for his small garden .. Looks like if I take all he hasn't used there's a 5x8 trailer piled about a foot deep all over . I expect this will give the garden a boost ... -- Snag Ain't no dollar sign on peace of mind - Zac Brown |

Just out of curiosity, is rabbit skat too strong to plow and use? I am thinking of raw chicken skat. Also, do you need to break up the pellets? I customer had a sign out a few years ago: Free snow. You haul. :-) |

This is fresh on top , but partially composted on the bottom . My plan is to haul it home and mix it with some of my compost - in my cement mixer . Then spread on the garden and till in . -- Snag Ain't no dollar sign on peace of mind - Zac Brown |

When you grabbed them, they screamed so loud it was deafening. And it sounded like a human child too, so every neighbor's door opened and stared at you. The coyotes could keep them in check either because domestic rabbits are too slow and the coyotes overshoot them chasing them. Now to find someone that grows rabbits organically. Guess what you get to do today Bugs! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pyxJ7GKGFG0 |

I almost always start more seedling than I can use , the extras are his if he wants them - and I've gotten some neat seedlings from him . We often share steel stock back and forth , he's a blacksmith and I have a (hobby) machine shop . -- Snag Ain't no dollar sign on peace of mind - Zac Brown |
