How To Create the Perfect Compost

Francesca Pondering About Your Garden

Francesca Pondering About Your Garden
How to create the perfect compost:

~Buy an Alpaca (or two!)
~Feed her hay and pellets
~Provide fresh clean water
~Pick up the Pacapoo
~Add other compost ingredients if desired
~Wait
~Encourage macro-organisms such as earthworms to participate in the process
~Turn the pile, wait more
~Or, just work it into the soil around your vegetable garden or landscape plants. Alpacas provide a high quality fertilizer that is wonderful right from the animal. You may or may not wish to add anything else, and don’t even have to wait to use it.
Want more valuable information about composting? Come to Sierra Rose Alpacas ‘Farm Days’ Festival and hear Patrick Rodysill of My Farm Fare (www.myfarmfare.com) talk about creating nutrient-rich compost from Alpaca Poo, and how to use the compost in a sustainable farming model.

The Festival is on September 29 and 30 from 10 a.m. – 4 p.m. at Sierra Rose! Admission is FREE! See www.sierrarosealpacas.com for directions and an event schedule!
