Bat Seabird Guano (BSG) organic fertilizer is high in Nitrogen, Phosphorus and trace minerals.  BSG is also an effective phosphorus fertilizer.  BSG will increase your organic gardening soil with organic matter and helps increase soil microorganisms.  BSG also lacks the awful odor you smell in so many other manure type fertilizers.

BSG is collected in dry environments that insured minmal loss of nutrients, thus making it highly concentrated Nitrogen and the use of Guano in organic gardening refers to both Bat and Seabird manure. In other words, Guano is more than bat dung.

The Incas first coined the word "Guano" that means "the droppings of sea birds."  To the Incas, Guano was a treasured resource.

Wikipedia has an excellent article on Guano.  See Guano at Wikipedia
