There are several uses for bat guano beyond supplying fertility to soil. It will add beneficial organisms that help to improve soil condition and help make existing nutrients available to your lawn or plants. Bat guano has been shown to act as a natural fungicide and helps control undesirable nematodes in the soil. It can also be added to compost piles and/or "compost teas" to increase biological activity. The typical N-P-K analysis of Texas bat guano is 10-3-1. It acts as a natural slow release nitrogen fertilizer that can be used on lawns, gardens, or flowerbeds. Recommended application rates for guano are: Lawns and Gardens - 10 pounds per 1000 sq ft; Potted Plants - 1 to 2 teaspoons for each pint of soil.
The percentages of nutrients are listed in the order N-P-K: nitrogen (N) is associated with leaf growth; phosphorus (P) with flower, fruit, seed, and root growth; and potassium (K) with disease resistance, root, tuber and stem growth, and protein synthesis.
SPECIAL CAUTION: This product has been processed into a fine dust--I recommend that you wear a long sleeved shirt, eye goggles and a mask when working with this product. Also use it on a calm day with little to no wind blowing.
We purchase this from a company who gathers the Guano from the Bracken Bat Caves near Austin Texas. This cave is estimated to have somewhere between 20 and 40 million bats eating some 200 tons of insects each night. They then produce a lot of guano. In its natural state, the guano is hard. When it is processed it is broken down into a fine dust. There is really no smell. The guano has a strong dirt smell but once it is put in the garden, there is no smell.
We purchase this in bulk and then pack it ourselves. We first put the guano into a zip lock bag, then into a hardware paper sack, which is stronger than the regular paper sacks.
