Holy crap! Exotic compost from Woodland Park Zoo up for grabs

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

SEATTLE — This year you don’t have to get lucky to bring home the prize of the zoo.

Woodland Park Zoo has dropped the traditional lottery system for its animal byproduct Zoo Doo and made the exotic compost available to all during its spring Fecal Fest.

The Seattle zoo has offered the doo to the public for nearly four decades, but for years it was short on supply to meet the demand from scores of gardeners statewide.

Order your dung today, with pickup in April, May and June, at www.zoo.org/zoodoo or call 206-625-POOP. That is a real phone number. This is serious!

1. I have heard that lion or tiger poop will keep deer out of your garden,

but I don't know whether your garden will end up smelling like a giant litter box.

2. I've only been able to obtain manure from herbivores

I’ve always gotten good yields in my garden. I can’t imagine that carnivore crap is any better.

3. Woodland Park Zoo's ZooDoo is from the herbivores.

It's fully composted, with some straw and woodchips.

Best stuff ever in a garden. You can get it by the pickup truck load, all the way down to pint containers.

See the link in the OP for a LOT of good info about the product. (The zoo is walking distance for us. I guess that if you have enough time, pretty much anything is walking distance. The zoo is about 25 blocks away.)

4. I don't think most zoos will give out carnivore poop.

For one thing, it's smelly; more importantly, they'd have to collect it without being eaten and becoming poop themselves. However, lion poo is apparently used in England to keep domestic cats out of gardens. https://discover.hubpages.com/living/Lion-Dung-As-A-Cat-Repellent
