A compost pile is easy to make and requires little space. Composting improves soil quality while reducing waste and helping the environment. Rabbit waste is one of the best materials to add to a compost pile since rabbit droppings are virtually odorless and have a high nitrogen content. Does this Spark an idea?
Instructions
1. Start your compost pile in the summer because composting organisms are the most active when it's warm. Clear off a patch of ground that is slightly elevated with good drainage. Choose a location for the pile that is away from barriers such as trees and buildings. Place a bin on the desired location. The bin can be made of wood or plastic. It should be baseless to allow drainage and allow worms to get in.
2. Empty the contents of your rabbit's litter pan into the bin. Add "green" and "brown" organic materials until the bin is filled to the top. Green waste is high in nitrogen and includes vegetable scraps, fresh grass clippings and manure from herbivores, including rabbits. Brown waste has a high concentration of carbon and includes leaves, dried grass, cardboard and twigs. Create alternating layers of green and brown materials to create airflow. You can also aerate the pile by shifting the materials in the bin every few weeks.
3. Keep the compost pile moist. If it looks dry, spray the pile with water. Cover the top if the weather gets too cold. A cover also discourages flies. Wait a few months for the pile to turn into a coarse, crumbly and spongy mulch, ready for use in your garden.
