Alpaca manure, also called “black gold”, is one of the best soil amendments for vegetable and flower gardens, lawns and houseplants because it typically contains a higher nutrition content than other livestock, including cow and horse manures.
Alpaca manure can be applied directly to plants. It is not a “hot” manure and will not burn them.
The “beans” act like little time release plant food capsules and will supply food and nutrients to your garden throughout the growing season.
