I don't know of any use for rabbit fat. It has the unfortunate quality of oxidizing very rapidly which gives it a stale taste..
What if you grew a variety of pole bean? If they are productive you can pick them and feed them to the chickens/rabbits/waterfowl on your property. Pick a bowl worth and put some in the rabbit cages, and then with all your fowl. If not, well they shade well enough and your really not out anything. Plus if they get oversized who cares? They are critter food so when you pick them is when you have time to pick them. When the weather turns as the days get shorter you have the option of pruning it back to feed to your animals, and the additional sun may help keep the chill off (for the teeny tiny chill you get in NC ) and you compost whatever your critters don't eat.Well, we want to plant some vining plants around it so that it will provide more shade. Problem is, we need to figure something that will vine, but won't harm the chickens!
