Slug repellent
We can offer low grade alpaca fleece for bedding plants to protect from slugs and snails. It maintains a dry environment and irritates the “foot” causing the small slimy visitors to retreat.

Bird Nesters
Our Luxury Wild Bird Nesters are great for attracting nesting birds to your garden as they adore using alpaca fleece to line their nests. Alpaca fleece is perfect for them to create a soft warm nest in which to raise their young. With the incredible insulating yet breathable qualities of alpaca fibre they soon learn whose garden to visit when nest building! Containing no lanolin and being water repellent it isn’t sticky so they can easily take just what they need. Our nesters are sufficient to line dozens of bird nests, just put it out from February onwards.
Please note that this is a natural product and may contain vegetable matter.

Incredible fertiliser!
We also have bags of ALPACA GOLD available as alpaca manure soil enhancer. As alpaca poo is formed in pellet form and has different components to other livestock such as horses, it does not need to be composted or aged before use. You can safely use it straight onto all plants without burning them.
It breaks down rather quickly and you can simply sprinkle it on top of plants and let the rain soak it in or push a few pellets into the soil of potted plants.
For seedlings you can make “alpaca tea” to jump start them, by steeping the pellets for a month in a water filled container such as a plastic milk bottle. This will create a liquid fertiliser that will remain effective for months.
Once added to the soil Alpaca Gold can help increase crop yields and promote vigorous plant growth. It also has the added benefit of deterring cats and other pests!
