Let it stew overnight, then strain and use. Due to its potency,
you will notice the application rates for guano are smaller
than those of other types of manure. Pay close attention to
the directions on the packet as dosages will differ depend-
ing on the growth development stage your plant is in, what
the plant species is, and the form of guano being used.
“It is versatile in application
and can be used
fresh or dry,
though it is most commonly
sold commercially in powder,
pellet, or liquid form.”
Leave Harvesting to the Professionals
As well as bat guano works in your garden, it goes
without saying individuals should not attempt to harvest
bat guano on their own. Bat feces, when untreated,
are especially dangerous and can carry Histoplasma
capsulatum, which is a fungus that can make people
very sick with the histoplasmosis. People get the virus
when inhaling theses fungal spores. It usually affects the
lungs and occasionally the eyes, and its manifestations
vary from mild flu-like symptoms to chronic lung disease.
There are many safety precautions and processes guano
must undergo when it is commercially produced to ensure
it is safe when bought and used by consumers.
When it comes to guano, it seems too good to be true,
but it’s hard to argue with thousands of years of use and
success. It is also a sustainable, organic, and completely
natural product.
