Gardening Know How Questions & Answers - https://questions.gardeningknowhow.comI had a large compost pile going that was rabbit poo. We had potatoes that had gone bad and I put them in the compost pile and they are growing everywhere in the rabbit poo now. I have concerns if they are going to be safe to eat. Not all of the poo was broken down into compost and I know potatoes will absorb toxic elements. Will the potatoes be safe to eat?

1 Comment To "Rabbit Poo"
#1 Comment By AnnsGreeneHaus On 04/03/2013 @ 7:48 am
There are two schools of thought on applying rabbit manure to the garden. Some gardeners are cautious about potential pathogens and prefer to toss them onto the compost pile as a precaution. For some, adding poop to your veggie garden sounds (on some level) suspect.
I’ll be honest, I haven’t heard of there ever being a problem – but it’s worth mentioning especially if you’re adding them to a vegetable garden. Then there are those gardeners that apply the rabbit pellets directly to the garden without a second thought. This is one of my practices; but I’m daring like that. The above taken from this link:
