Making And Using Fresh Bat Guano Tea

Question

I have an ample supply of fresh Bat guano, five gallon buckets and aquarium aerators. Should I just follow the suggestion of one cup of guano, even though this is fresh guano, per gallon of water? How long should I let it aerate in the bucket before I use it to water my plants. Any suggestions or guidelines. I can’t convince my wife to call it Digested Mosquitoes instead of bat****!

Answer 1

All the resource articles say you must use composted bat guano as a safety precaution. Here is more:
