How to Use Alpaca Tea

Alpaca tea is a fertilizer that improves the structure of soil by increasing its ability to store and release nutrients. It is made using the manure of an alpaca, an animal in the llama family. By steeping the manure, you create a liquid nutrient-dense tea that enhances the growth of plants. Insects find the aroma of alpaca manure offensive, so you can also use alpaca tea as a pesticide. Because it is odorless to humans, you can use it on outdoor and indoor plants.
