Store the guano in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and moisture. Keep the bag tightly sealed after each use to maintain its quality and effectiveness. Avoid storing it in damp or humid environments to prevent clumping or loss of nutrients.

Is guano safe to use in the garden?

Guano is safe to use in your garden, even if you have children or pets. However, it’s important to store the bag securely, as pets may be attracted to its natural smell. Always keep the bag out of reach of pets and children to avoid accidental ingestion. When handling guano, wear gloves to prevent skin irritation and wash your hands afterward.

Overusing guano can cause nutrient imbalances or burn plants. Always follow the recommended application rates.
