hi Lois

I would consider using it as a compost amendment. If low on "fresh"
green matter for the making of your compost consider a small amount of
bat guano mixed in with the usual carbon suspects. If the "fresh" bat
guano is available the nitrates be even more available in the compost
pile so use it sparingly.

I cannot think of a recipe of AACT that would include old or fresh bat
guano. I look forward to other suggestions for brewing with "BG" my
imaginations fails me for brewing with "BG", perhaps, no I will resist
that urge.
