WHY USE IT?
Guano Dust is a nutrient-rich organic fertiliser that offers a host of benefits for plants, gardens, and especially lawns. By using micronised dry chicken manure, rich in phosphorus and other essential nutrients, Guano Dust promotes robust plant growth and a thriving soil ecosystem. Phosphorus plays a crucial role in plant metabolism, aiding in root development, flowering, and overall plant vigor.
For lawns, Guano Dust is particularly beneficial, enhancing lush, green growth and promoting a deep, resilient root system. This organic product delivers nutrients in a balanced and gradual manner, making it an environmentally friendly option that minimises nutrient runoff and maximises absorption. When combined with other SoilSmiths products, such as Foliar & Feed, it works together to enhance the nutrient potential of your soil, supporting vibrant plant life and increasing nutrient availability naturally through the soil food web.
Whether you’re rejuvenating tired garden beds or creating a healthy, green lawn, Guano Dust offers a natural, sustainable solution that enriches your soil while reducing the need for synthetic inputs. It’s a simple, effective way to nurture your green spaces and maximise soil health, making it a go-to for gardeners and landscapers alike.

THE SCIENCE
New review needed
Guano Dust is a micronised form of dry chicken manure, bringing with it a concentrated source of essential nutrients, particularly phosphorus, that plants and soil organisms need for optimal function. The science behind its effectiveness lies in its composition and interaction with the soil food web. Phosphorus is critical for energy transfer and root development in plants, yet it is often one of the most challenging nutrients to keep bioavailable. Guano Dust’s finely milled texture enhances phosphorus availability, allowing it to be more readily absorbed by plants without overwhelming the soil ecosystem.
The natural balance of nutrients in Guano Dust not only supports plant growth but also feeds and activates beneficial microorganisms within the soil. These microbes break down organic matter, make locked-up nutrients accessible to plants, and contribute to improved soil structure and health. Moreover, Guano Dust’s ability to naturally chelate phosphorus and other trace minerals ensures that nutrients are efficiently delivered and utilized, enhancing plant resilience and productivity.
HOW TO USE IT
- For Gardens and Flower Beds: Apply Guano Dust by mixing 5-10 grammes per square metre into the top layer of soil or around the roots of plants. Water thoroughly after application to help the nutrients penetrate the soil. Repeat every 4-6 weeks during the growing season for optimal results.
- For Lawns: Evenly distribute Guano Dust at a rate of 10-20 grammes per square metre. For best results, rake lightly to integrate the dust into the soil surface and then water thoroughly. This application can be repeated every 6-8 weeks to promote dense, lush grass growth.
- For Potted Plants and Containers: Use 1-3 grammes of Guano Dust per litre of soil, mixing it gently into the top layer. Water immediately to activate the nutrients. Reapply every 4-6 weeks during the active growth phase.
- For Soil Enrichment and Compost Activation: To boost compost activity or enhance general soil fertility, sprinkle Guano Dust over compost piles or mix it into the soil during preparation for planting. This will enhance microbial activity and nutrient availability.
