Where it all began…

My romance with manure started 25yrs ago when I moved to a smallholding with very poor soil. While clearing land for vegetable gardens, I created several compost heaps, adding as much cow manure as I could lay my hands on. I remember an article I wrote for our local community newspaper, Bolander, waxing on and on about the merits of cow manure, referring to it as black gold.  Black gold indeed!

Years later I would discover true black gold, Magic Rabbit compost.

As life goes, Chance in the form of unwanted rabbits, entered the fairytale. Our focus was on organic meat production, but as a byproduct, utilized the manure in our vegetable gardens.  It dramatically improved our yield, with giant vegetables everywhere. We looked at the rabbits in a very different light and to the relief and delight of our friends, decided to change our focus. I researched rabbit manure and found the reason for our success.

Rabbit manure is the superhero of all manures with its nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium levels far out performing other manures.

To add to these impressive qualities, rabbit manure is classified as a cold manure with no root burn when added directly to plants.  Odourless, slow releasing and 100% organic and natural. Rabbits feed on oats hay mostly and as a natural development, we started composting and thus, Magic Rabbit Compost was born.

Further research into the fermentation of rabbit urine according to ancient Japanese wisdom, saw the birth of Magic Rabbit Liquid, a 100% natural and organic foliar feed and insecticide.

We are passionate about self-sustainability, rehabilitation of soil, organic and ethical living.

Magic Rabbit (Pty)Ltd was created out of love for the soil, standing with our bare feet solidly planted in the knowledge that food security must be a personal responsibility and journey.
