Huggable Fertilizer Plant?!

June 8 a couple of us traveled to Norway, Michigan to get alpaca manure at Rainbow's End Alpaca Farm. What cuties! Each alpaca had a name and a distinct personality. Most were very affectionate as you can see in the photo above! We loaded prebagged "paca poo", aka "alpaca beans" into the car and headed back to Marquette, picking up some tomato cages on the way. Paca poo factoids:

• Stinks less than any animal manure I've been around
• Doesn't needed composting prior to garden application, i.e. won't burn plants (low nitrogen)
• Is deer resistant
• Does not promote weeds

Thanks so much, co-owner Mary Lynn Verley, for the tour, education, and discount. Great gift shop, too! See Mary Lynn in the lower left pic holding the newest addition who is less than 24 hours old!
