Alpaca manure is the best natural fertilizer as it is lower in organic matter than manure from other farm animals, but still has enough to improve soil texture and water-holding capacity. Alpaca manure (or beans) do not have to be aged or cured; They will not burn; the plants it comes in contact with and can be applied rather carelessly without fussing.
The alpaca's 3-stomach digestive system processes food so efficiently seeds do not survive to become weeds, as with cow or horse manure. They are nature’s composters. It also has comparatively high levels of nitrogen and potassium which are major plant nutrients and part of the well-known N-P-K indicator on fertilizer bags, and an indication of good fertilizer value.
Alpaca manure has a very low odour (practically none) which makes it a fantastic fertilizer to work with. Although alpaca manure starts out in a pellet or bean form, it breaks down quickly and can be used without extensive “ageing”.
Weight varies according to how wet the manure was when it was bagged but typically will be between 10-12kg.
