I have recently acquired a few acres of land to live and sustain on... There is a llama who lives on the property who has quite a pile of manure, two actually. It's so nice when animals always go in the same place, huh? After research online it seems that llama manure is a great soil amendment. I am wondering if anyone has any experience with it, if there are any specific concerns I should keep in mind before I use it, and what is the best way to distribute the manure into the soil (or use it as a mulch layer).
I will be planting in about 2 months, maybe sooner depending on temperature. There is an area here that was once a green house, where someone dug about 2.5 feet deep and filled with soil. The area is 10' x 20'. The area has been unused for about a few years. The soil looks really really great. I was just going to add the manure and organic compost. I also found some peat moss that is still in packages on the property. It is probably 2 or 3 years old. Should I use it? Someone also left bags of organic bat guano and kelp meal, which are probably about 2 years old (kept in a barn.) Is it still okay to use these things? I figure I should use them and not waste them. I only have the property for the next year. Thanks y'all.
