Guanos are among the best fertilizers money can buy. They are usually high in Nitrogen and/or Phosphorus and contain many trace elements. They commonly come as a powdery dirt that either needs to be mixed into the soil for long-term release or made into a tea for instant release. From another thread I just replied in-
Teas are made by soaking solid fertilizers in water for anywhere from 18-48 hrs, depending on the tea-making process you use. You can stir frequently and/or apply light heat to speed up the process (minimum of about 18hrs). When using heat, don't let it get hot enough to steam much if any. You can also just put it in the water and let it sit, stirring when you're able or not at all, for the full 48hrs or whatever the directions on the package say. Strain out the solids through a piece of cloth like an old pillowcase and either use the ferts immediately, refrigerate for up to a couple weeks or freeze. Many of these ferts have measuring instructions for tea making on the package. Here's a list of mine of the various types available:
