I would not use any fertilizer container in my quilts, not knowing what we know about fertilizer ingredients. It doesn't seem to me that you could ever be sure you got all the bad stuff out of them.

I looked it up and guana sacks is a mid-west local term for a woven feed stacks that was used in quilting. It was more of a canvas than a burlap as it was closely woven. I think the effect would be somewhat like using a flannel sheet. Where as Guano is a mix of bird and bat refuse that makes a fine fertilizer, all that nitrogen you see. It is mined and shipped all over the world...I do not know if it comes in sacks.

Sounds interesting but how many washings would it take to make sure all the guana is gone? <grin>

Can't stop laughing, but now I have to ask, is that where the word "batting" came from? LOL!

You are correct. Guano is bat poop.
