Alpaca beans are an excellent  organic fertilizer.  It is safe to use around tender vegetation such as tomatoes or herbs, but powerful enough to use in all garden areas.  Even outdoor shrubbery and ornamentals will benefit from this wonderful soil additive!

Using alpaca manure as fertilizer is beneficial. Even with its lower organic content, alpaca manure is considered a rich soil conditioner. Alpaca fertilizer improves the soil quality and its ability to retain water. It is also good for plants with a fair amount of nitrogen and potassium and about average levels of phosphorous.

Since alpaca manure is mostly found in pellet form and doesn’t have the same components as other livestock feeders like cows and horses, it does not need to be aged or composted before use. You can spread it directly onto garden plants without burning them. Best of all, it does not contain any weed seeds so there’s no worry about plucking sprouts from the garden following application, as with some types of manure.  There may be the odd piece of straw now and then but straw doesn't sprout weeds or cause problems. Just leave it in to add bulk or toss it away.  We strive to get most of this straw out but some slip through anyways.  On the lighter side, we don't charge extra for it.

How Do I Use Alpaca Manure as Fertilizer?

When using alpaca fertilizer, you can put it on top of the garden soil and then water it or wait and let the rain help soak it in.

For those in colder climates, you can also spread the manure over snow-filled garden beds and allow it to soak into the soil as the snow melts. Either way alpaca manure breaks down rather quickly

Although composting alpaca manure is not necessary, doing so is easy. Composted alpaca manure can offer additional benefits as well. One of the easiest ways to create alpaca manure compost is to simply mix it in with other organic materials.

The finished compost should have a pleasant odour and a nice dark brown to black colour. Once added to the soil, composted alpaca manure can help increase crop yields and promote healthy, vigorous plant growth.

Whether you add alpaca manure directly to the garden, make manure tea, or use alpaca manure compost, your plants will thrive. In addition, the nearly odourless alpaca fertilizer may even help deter deer pests, as they find its aroma offensive.
