Moose Poo

[NorwayNick]

ok this might sound like a strange question, but my back garden has lots of Moose Dung in it after the winter, do you think this is ok to dig into my veg beds as fertilizer?

And yes i mean moose not mouse :-)

Moose being a bit thin on the ground in UK, I don't know why you're asking here !
But I would have thought the dung,(I hate the word "poo") would be just as good as Cow or horse dung

I might be tempted to leave it to rot down a bit (as we would with cow/horse manure), however, it depends when your planting season in Norway starts, as it might have a better chance of rotting down in the ground if you're not starting to plant until later in the year...

Check this blog post out about it:
The Alaska Novice Garden: Search results for moose
It's the only reference to using the stuff as compost and I'm afraid I can't find an NPK rating anywhere!

Great link thanks it looks like i shall be adding it to my compost pile. So it can break down first

Moose Poo

Don't know about moose dung, but I was told that alpaca dung doesn't need to rot down.

Now you tell me, that was on the pub quiz last night!

I have access to large amounts of llama dung -so I suppose that would be the same as alpaca???
