#zoo doo

I got selected in the Zoo Doo lottery, which allows me to purchase bulk compost from Woodland Park Zoo, and it's just blocks away in my neighborhood. I convinced Raine to come help me schlep by having a tarp to line the back of her Jeep, and a lot of treats from Coyle's Bakery.

The compost was nicely aged due to the program having been shut down for over a year.

Woodland Park Zoo goes green with its popular Zoo Doo compost. Animal waste is turned into sustainable compost for your garden, made available during twice annual Fecal Fest lotteries and in the ZooStore.

What is Fecal Fest?

Get your hands on the most desired compost in Seattle. Woodland Park Zoo’s Fecal Fest is right around the corner. The annual event invites local gardeners to enter a bid to purchase the exotic, highly-coveted Zoo Doo and Bedspread that Dr. Doo, also known as the “Princess of Poo,” the “GM of BM” or the “Grand Poopah,” has been piling all season.

This year’s Zoo Doo has a new look and flavor! The sweet, aromatic Zoo Doo is composed of species feces contributed by a variety of the zoo’s non-primate herbivores, such as hippos, giraffes, mountain goats, tapirs and more, and is perfect to grow veggies and annuals. The new recipe includes a percentage of Bedspread mixed in to avoid compaction and help loosen up Zoo Doo and improve water retention. Overall, the new Zoo Doo is a little lighter (which means easier to shovel!) and helps create a crumblier soil.

You should put in for some zoo doo for your garden at the Woodland Park Zoo in Seattle, Washington. I love how tall my tomatoes and peas got from using zoo doo compost in my beds this year.
