Is alpaca manure good fertilizer?

A

Short answer

Yes. Alpaca 'beans' are low in odor, can often be applied directly to gardens without burning plants, and are rich in nitrogen and potassium.

Because alpacas use communal dung piles, collecting manure is easy. Many gardeners compost it to kill weed seeds and parasite eggs, and many farms sell bagged alpaca manure or 'manure tea'.
