I've also heard that it's more potent than chicken poop, so use it sparingly! Quote \| Reply \| Report

Depending on where it comes from, it will have different nutritional values. I've heard that Peruvian Seabird guano is among the best there is. It typically consists of 13-13-2.5 and has other beneficial nutrients. Quote \| Reply \| Report
