Equipment

  • Porous cloth, bag, or piece of burlap

Ingredients

  • 1 gallon rabbit manure
  • 5 gallons water

Instructions

  • Find yourself some rabbit manure. Rabbit manure is hard and dry making it easy to handle!
  • Find a porous cloth, bag, or piece of burlap (I use a simple garment bag used for delicates from the dollar store) to add your rabbit pellets to. We're making a large tea bag.
  • Add your rabbit poo to your porous bag.
  • Fill an old 5 gallon bucket with a cover with water and add your tea bag of rabbit manure to it. It's best to keep it warm and covered while it's steeping.
  • Keep your bucket of rabbit tea outside in a sunny, warm area to brew, stirring daily.
  • After about 1 week, remove the bag from the water, and you've just made yourself a very high nutrient flower food!
  • You can compost the remaining rabbit manure or sprinkle it in your garden.
  • To apply your rabbit tea, simply add it to a spray bottle or add to a watering can. This won't burn your plants with this natural fertilizer as long as you use it in moderation!
