Networking within the Alpaca community is great. This email was a response to the request 'what do you do with all that poop...' |
Mike: One day I posted a sign outside my driveway for FREE alpaca manure and by golly - two neighbors come by quarterly and haul it off for me. They use it for organic gardening. That's the twist I would recommend to market it. It's known to be low in nitrogen and does not burn plants, etc., when too much is applied. There has been a few articles on alpaca dung from a gardening aspect. I do not know of anyone making a financial return from it. I figure my neighbors are saving me hundreds of dollars a year in "hauling" it off. I send these folks a ham or turkey each year for the holidays. Happy scooping. It's what separates the men from the boys! HA!
