Saumer Time Alpaca Ranch

Here is the Scoop about the Poop

Not ordinary poop, but Alpaca poop. It is our third time applying this compost to our garden which is 15 years old. We live in northeast Edmonton and over the past four years have experienced drought for three and this year lots of rain, wind, hail and even snow in mid September. The garden has pulled through beautifully.

I attribute our success to the poop from the lovely gentle alpaca. It is very balanced in nitrogen so when you apply it does not burn the garden but nurtures it. Just the right ingredients for great growing. It is very friable allowing the garden to drain even when you top dress the whole things, which is what we do.

We write this after enjoying a fall day drive on Thanksgiving weekend. The trip out to the Saumer Time Alpaca Ranch to visit the animals is all part of the fun. The poop is the added bonus. We look forward to planting in the spring for another great year of grown beautiful flowers and vegetables.

Thank you to Tom and Carolyne for a wonderful visit.
