Cannabis growing – Guano Guide. Part 6
Finding Fertilizer.
As we’ve said one of the finest reasons to use manures in growing is the proven fact that society ( in total ) has a surplus of animal guano. The disposal or dispersal of animal wastes is a genuine problem for areas where large rural operations produce copious excesses of waste. Even Vegans, who might avoid pure animal products like bone meal or blood meal, might do well to think about employing manures in growing, because the utilisation of manures is useful to our planet’s environment.
The best recommendation we will give for finding excellent for guano is to look around!
We recommend you simply contact folk who raise the assorted cows, horses, pigs or chickens which make this manure. If you’re fortunate, they will possibly let you take a load home for nothing. Stables are often listed in the telephone book, and state carnivals and traveling circuses can also serve as great sources for free dung. For the hopelessly urban farmer, the local zoo may also offer free crap. As an extra benefit, zoos can offer some pretty exotic guano, like crap from animals like lions and tigers and bears, ( oh my ) Some folks claim that fertilizer from predator species like these may help to deter garden pests ,eg rabbits and deer. If none of these fertilizer sources are available, or if you simply like your guano pre-packed, just head off to the local nursery or home-and-garden center. Wal-Mart, Lowes, and Home Depot are all examples of big outlets which may carry packed dung products, sometimes cow and steer crap. Frequently these are at least partly composted and come labelled as “humus and manure”. Today , even many corner shop stores carry fertilizer products like humus and fertilizer or mushroom compost. The budget conscious buyer can frequently wait till late in the season when stores are “closing out ” such products before winter, to snatch these items at increased rebates. Garden centres or hydro shops are typically better sources for the more exotic ingredients like worm castings and the numerous bat and bird guanos. Ingredients for green manures can regularly be found in rustic animal feed stores, or other similar rural supply center.
