Alpacas in the garden



We had a bunch of marginal fibre left from shearing over the past couple of years. Mostly lower legs, belly etc, which is not good enough for yarn and too short to card or felt.






We spread it pretty thick in the garden rows as mulch to control the weeds. It works well and the fibre keeps the plants snugly warm. At the end of the season it will be tilled in as compost.






Never waste anything on a farm!
