  I’m finally learning to garden, and I joined the Gardening club at work. We have a couple of planters on our balcony and the club grows vegetables for anyone who’s interested in eating it.
  
  I heard many stories about how rabbit poop is good for gardening, Should it be composted first, or I also heard that putting it right in the soil is okay.
  
  What is the best way?

  You can put it directly on the soil, if you want. It doesn’t hurt anything plant-wise. Personally, I would compost it though. You can use the compost to make potting soil (1 part compost, 2 parts soil), which would be better for the plants because it would have a nice balance of nutrients and it would hold moisture better (= less watering). Plus you wouldn’t have bunny poop sitting on top of your garden, which could attract flies and other insects.
