While out on a walk in the forest today I gathered up some free fertilizer. Porcupine poop. Three bags full! The fig trees will get fed some of this stuff. It should work out okay if it doesn't attract any porcupines to my trees. lol. The already composted poop is in the shopping bags posted in the pictures below. I found piles of it outside their den in the rocks. The stuff in the blue container is composted pine needles and the rest is pine straw. The pine straw I will use for mulch and the composted needles is my potting soil along with some perlite and a bit of wood ash. I used this stuff last year and it worked fine although I used pine bark then instead of perlite. There is more poop out at the den so I will have to get more later on. I shot a video of the den and the area around it. It is below too. __________________ Sam zone 4 Thessalon Ontario, Canada.

That's a lot of poop! I guess they forgot to flush, lol! Nice find, thanks for sharing. __________________ Phil - Zone 7A - Newark, DE Newbie fig lover just trying to learn.

That's a pretty unique fertilizer! Not too much university research on that, I'm sure :) __________________ Ed Zone 6A - Southwest PA --------------------------- Short wish list: CDDG, LSU Red, Dark Greek (Navid), Col Littman's Black Cross. And any cold hardy early fig.
