My grandmother sent me an amusing newspaper clipping:

Boutique manure, clocking in at $2.59 per lb.

Note to self:

Start collecting exotic animals. Market droppings. Profit.

there’s an elephant sanctuary around Gainesville that has a link with someone who composts their poo… I got a load once, $63 for a pick-up bed delivered. It was alright. Nothing spectacular, but it was good compost. pachypoo.com but it looks like they aren’t selling any right now

  That’s not a bad price. I wonder what their primary food is?

    it was timothy hay, which is why they can’t sell it anymore. aminopyralid contamination risk

I think the DC Zoo was marketing their composted big cat poo a while ago as a deer deterrent… don’t know how well it worked, but a cute idea.

  That’s a very clever idea. I wonder if the deer just “know” somehow?
