123. #CropCareConvos - Alpacas on Your Farm: preparing for the alpacalypse
In this episode of #CropCareConvos, Bobby Shearer sits down with Patricia, co-owner of Sun Roots Farm, to explore the benefits of keeping alpacas on your farm.
So, why are alpacas good for your farm?
1. Their poop is basically compost
2. They don't pull plants up by roots, but they're great lawnmowers who don't munch your cannabis plants
3. Light on their, soft pads = minimal soil compaction
4. Fleece! Which is also great mulch.
5. Protection for chickens. They scare away bobcats, fox, mountain lions, etc
6. Hygienic, communal poop piles
7. Adorable!... am I right?
But what's the cost? Any challenges were not considering? When preparing for the alpacalypse, these animals are simply incredible!
