Planted cucumbers, watermelons, spinach, okra, two variety of beans, several jalepeno and tomatoes. Had fantastic results. The paca poo was a mixture of recent and aged ingredients as I used a front end loader to load the compound on the truck. The mixture was tilled into the soil. I have included a link with additional information and directions for accessing the University of Idaho's website where the analysis originated.....

The closest alpaca farm is 40 minutes away. Something to ask them about though! Maybe if I make a trip out that way for other things I could pick some up on the way back home...
