I know the subject of using Bat Guano causes 'heated debate' and i do not want to use it myself because of the negative envoironmental impact on the bats and their habitat.
i like this little snippet of info regarding seabird guano from this link: http://www.bbc.co.uk/dna/h2g2/A765678
"The Incas used to collect guano from the coast of Peru and use it as a soil enricher. They treated the guano as a valuable material by restricting access to it and punishing any disturbance to the birds with death. "
My point of this post is that i was reading on another forum of organic cultivators talking of using seabird guano instead of bat guano. There is two types, one is high in N for vegative growth and the other high in P K for flowering. Some members suggested the seabird guano was ethical to collect due to minimal impact on the birds habitat.
I am still doing online research on this and wanted to hear the opinions of folks here on the subject of seabird guano. My interest in this stems from smoking some bud that was grown with bat guano and the same strain grown alongside without the guano and i have to say the guano supplemented bud tasted nicer and more intense than the one grown without. My instinct on the matter of using seabird guano tells me its no more ethical to use than bat guano and both have a detrimental effect on the wildlife and their habitat.
Any input from the organic people here?
