Re: rabbits manure...

        I am not a very active SQFTer but I know that you are not supposed to use cat waste as a compost item.  Cats are not vegetarian like your rabbit and the waste has items in it that you don't want in your garden.  The rabbit droppings are fine since they are like chicken manure but I would caution you against using the cat waste.
        If there is anyone else out there that disagrees with me than please let me know.  As I said I am not a very active gardener.

Subject:        rabbits manure...

Hi,

I have a pet rabbit that makes lots of compost items for me. I placed what I
could in the garden (pit composting) in the fall.
I now have a growing pile of full garbage bags waiting for spring.
I use an Environmentally Friendly Organic Cat litter made from
Natural plant fibers.

The problem is that I have 2 composters going full-time with just food and yard
wastes and I am running out of ideas and space.  I have 3 raised beds - 2 4ft x
13 ft and 1 4ft x 10 ft. all the other area in my garden are a perenial bed
(rhurbarb, strawberries and asparagus) and my 2 composters. I have no where else
to expand my garden.
