Re:Really New to Worms - 2008/05/10 21:20 WAHOOO!!!! That's Texas Style, and thanks, Wormwrangler. Not having to work 7 days a week, dawn to dusk, is just what I'm looking for. Not many farming opps that can offer that. I'm a hard worker, but I want to box it in 40 hours a week, Mon. through Friday so I can have weekends free to enjoy my horses and camping.

We have 3 horses plus a friend's on the property, so I have a steady supply of some manure for starters. Only thing I'm trying to come to grips with is what I've read what horse wormers do to earthworms.

Some "natural horsemen" toot feeding horses diotamaceous earth in place of the commercial wormers which of course are poison. I'd have to be assured w/a few vet worm checks that that really works. But if it does, does the food-grade dio earth, passed through a horse, present any danger to the earthworms? Does anyone know?

Thanks.

Connie
