The Benefits of Bat Guano Fertilizer

Not long ago, bat guano was considered an expensive option, but today it is sold as a common organic fertilizer.

Bat guano, one of the richest natural fertilizers, has been used since ancient times to promote a good
harvest. Many ancient civilizations knew of its superior properties and forbade citizens from discarding it. The U.S. government has subsidized land rich in bat guano and even offered land to those discovering the deposits.

If you’re switching from a chemical to an organic garden, bat guano can help smooth the transition. It
contains healthful bioremediation microorganisms and trace elements that work to detoxify the soil.

Rich in the nutrients all plants need, including high concentrations of nitrogen and phosphorous as well as other elements, bat guano is great in any garden. Phosphorous aids in the flowering of crops and nitrogen promotes stalk and shoot growth. The levels of each mineral vary in guano deposits depending largely on the proportion of fruits and insects in the bats’ diet.

Not long ago, bat guano was considered an expensive option, but today it is sold as a common organic
fertilizer. It’s affordable and effective. Bat guano and other animal castings make the best basic fertilizers for organic gardens and help ensure bountiful crops. Bat guano can also be used in hydroponics gardens as well as outdoor gardens.
