Remember this!
Guano and compost are both natural fertilizers that provide nutrients to plants and improve soil quality. However, they differ in their source, production, nutrient content, application, and availability. Guano comes from bird or bat droppings and is harvested and processed for commercial use, while compost is made from a variety of organic materials and created through a controlled decomposition process. Guano is high in nitrogen and phosphorus, while compost contains a more balanced mix of nutrients. Guano is typically applied directly to soil, while compost is often mixed into soil or used as a top dressing. Guano may be harder to find and more expensive than compost, which can be made at home or purchased at garden centers.
