I'm not sure if anybody gardens but any info on rabbit poop as fertilizers?
Can it be put right on the plants mixed with the hay and urine?
Does it need to be composted?
How do I compost something?
I have two litter boxes full of poop, litter, and soiled hay that I dump out into our forest weekly. That stuff is in many piles that has piled up over the years and is probably composted if it needs to be composted first. I'd like to put their poop to use though since I'm growing this garden for them, might as well use their poop to grow it instead of throwing it out.
Oh and the composted stuff in my forest, can I still use that stuff even though it's also covered in urine and hay?

You don't want the hay, as the hay will take over the plant. Just use the rabbit poo.

And when you use it, till it in. If you are going to put it in pots, put a layer of your medium first, than a layer of poo, than your final medium.

Rabbit poo is excellent fertilizer.

Composting, good. Just let it ferment, and break down. The stuff you have in the forest could be used in your garden. But mix it in, meaning till it into the soil. That way it breaks down the hay part of it. You water it, let it sit for 7 days, re-till, then set it up to plant.

Otherwise, you will have hay popping up all over choking your plants.
