Woodland Park Zoo Press Release
As the (African wild) dog days of summer begin to wane, it’s time again to look forward to Woodland Park Zoo’s annual fall Fecal Fest! Now’s your chance to purchase a load of that rich, multi-species feces known as Woodland Park Zoo Doo®.
My third trip to the Zoo for this garden accelerator, 8 bags full (the tall Kraft paper yard waste bags). Loading it (each bag weighs about 100 pounds), carrying it up the stairs at my house, and spreading it around was a wearisome task. My back is already stiffening.
But some next spring, I’ll reap the benefits. And it will be time to get more, anyway.
I had planned to put most of today’s harvest on the vegetable garden, but summer doesn’t seem to want to end just yet, whatever the calendar may say about it. So tomatoes are still ripening, and I’m not going to disturb that process.
