Item Description

Llama manure is a perfect sustainable and environmentally-friendly fertilizer. We grew our corn in it last summer, and while the other local corn fields had stalks less than knee-high, ours was already five feet tall!

These "black beans" are a safe, organic, fertilizer that won't burn plants, unlike some other chemical and animal fertilizers. It is rich in nitrogen and potassium, and has some phosphorus, calcium and magnesium as well.

The llama beans break down slowly, releasing their nutrients into your plants. It has almost no smell and is easy to handle.

You can plant directly into it, or use it as a llama bean tea. Put one cup of beans in a 1 gallon container and let it sit for a day or two then use this mix to water your plants. Keep adding water as you use the mix until the water no longer turns tea colored. Add the particulate matter to your soil and start again. One cup of beans will make about 10 gallons of tea.

Before shipping the beans to you, we gather, dry and sterilize them by heating them in a microwave to make sure no seeds survive that could possibly germinate later. The beans are then packaged into one pound bags and shipped to you.
