Most of the bat guanos I use are exceptionally dry, with the exception of Sunleaves' Jamaican BG--it has some moisture in it.
My objective is to include Jamaican BG and other dry ingredients in my custom top-dressing blend, but the problem I am having is the moisture content of Jamaican BG.
I thought by letting the BG sit in an open bucket for a couple of days would work, but after grinding everything (coffee grinder) and mixing everything together--a week or so later I noticed a bit of white mold growing in the blend with Jamaican BG--but nothing in my other blend that has zero Jamaican BG. I think the tiny bit of moisture in the Jamaican BG is my problem.
So...to avoid health issues (histoplasmosis), I am cautious of spreading the bat guano on a drying table of sorts and my wife will kill me if use HER oven to dry MY bat shit.
Anyone have an idea, process or procedure that will completely dry (say 90% or better) semi-dry bat guano?
Maybe during the summer I can use the attic as a heat source and hang guano in mesh sacks (paint filters)--but it is winter now.
Any ideas?
