Applying Organic manure (Rabbit droopings) on my Ridges | My Maize Gardening Challenge(#mc2022)

Hello Hivers ✌✌.
Welcome to my Blog!!

So today I will be applying my organic manure which in my case is rabbit drippings.
Rabbit dropping is a very good source of plants nutrients.

Here are a few facts about rabbit manure:

  1. Rabbit manure has four times more nutrients than cow or horse manure and is twice as rich as chicken manure. Cow, horse and chicken manure are considered “hot” and need to be composted (well-rotted) to use as fertilizers.

  2. One of the best things about rabbit manure is it doesn’t need to be composted.
    Rabbit manure is organic matter and improves poor soil structure, drainage and moisture retention.

  3. It improves the life cycle of microorganisms in the soil.
    Worms love rabbit manure.

  4. It is not as smelly as other manures and is easy to handle.

  5. One doe and her offspring can produce a ton of manure in one year. That’s a lot of bunny honey.

  6. Rabbit manure is packed with nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, minerals and micronutrients.

  7. It contains beneficial trace elements such as calcium, magnesium, boron, zinc, manganese, sulfur, copper and cobalt, just to name a few.

Nitrogen (N). Rabbit manure is higher in nitrogen than sheep, goat, chicken, cow or horse manure.
Plants need nitrogen to produce strong green growth.

Phosphorus (P). Rabbit manure is also higher in phosphorus than the other manures. It helps with the transformation of solar energy to chemical energy.

Phosphorus also helps plants to withstand stress and contributes to more and bigger blossoms, and is great for root growth.
Potassium (K). Potassium helps with fruit quality and reducing disease; plants will not grow without it.

Applying my rabbit manure to my maize ridges,I had to allow the rabbit manure sit a little in water to soften it, this is don so that the plant can access it almost immediately, I then dug a small hole at the spot where the maize seeds are going to be planted, introduced the rabbit manure then covered it up with soil.
This will allow the maize seed utilize the manure quickly in it's early growth.

This application method helps me to utilize my manure, cause I don't need a lot of it to cover the filed.

This is really an interesting challenge and I'm sure you would want to be a part of.
