llama beans

N-P-K (nitrogen, phosphorous, potassium) of llama beans is between 1.5-0.2-1.1 and 1.7-0.7-1.2 which is relatively high in comparison to other manures

Llama beans contain less organic matter than other manures, making it unlikely to "burn" plant roots if applied directly to the soil

The texture and size of llama beans make them easy to mix into soil to add a slow release of nutrients and trace minerals and help to retain water

Llama beans are much less likely to spread weed seeds to your garden without composting than other manures because of the llamas unique digestive system

Mix into soil- at the beginning of the growing season, or right before winter, you can till llama beans into your garden to prepare your soil with nutrients and texture

Mulch- apply llama beans around the base of plants to prevent pests and weeds. The nutrients from the beans will get into the soil during watering

Bean Tea- similar to compost tea, soak the beans in a bucket, watering can, or gallon jug and water plants with the tea for a faster acting fertilizer

Lasagna Method- add a layer of llama beans in the soil so that the plant roots can access the nutrients as they grow larger, this gives the llama beans time to soak into the deeper layers of the soil and break down. This works especially well with llama beans that contain some straw
