Hello, all.

Last summer I met a llama breeder in my area (Oregon) who has a herd of 55 llamas. Oddly enough, these animals produce voluminous amounts of manure. The breeder is eager to rid himself of much of the manure, and has gladly offered to give me some. (approx. 8 pickup loads so far)

Prior to my meeting, I had done some reading on how great llama manure is for the soil. Since August I have been adding this stuff to my beds. I am eager to start planting in this soil to see just how great it is.

So.....my questions........

Has anyone out there tried llama manure or llama manure compost before? Is it all that it is cracked up to be? Do some veggies perform better than others? Are there any problems associated with using it?

I look forward to any and all replies.

Best regards,

Michael in OR....zone 8
