I recently hooked up with a worm farmer who uses manure from all over town and he processes 1.5 million pounds a year. He has done lots of tests and his nutritional levels in his compost are very high. The only type of horse manure NOT to use is that which the horse has been given worming medications. I let my manure age for a week or more and then apply on top of my current compost pile. Hi Bentley, I only use horse manure in my worm composting.

Truth be told, you have me stumped. I've never heard of that before, and know of people using horse manure in their gardens. I'll see if I can dig up some more info about that. Thanks for the comment. 8) That’s an excellent question, Eve. Truth be told, you have me stumped. I’ve never heard of that before, and know of people using horse manure in their gardens.

I have been told 'never ever add horse manure to a vegetable garden even well aged horse manure'. Horses carry tetanus and it is present in the manure, though i may be wrong on the name of the illness. I'm dyslexic and get proper names mixed up. I have a neighbor down the road who has a huge garden and a lot of horses. He wont put it into his garden no matter how old it is and cant give it away, no one will take it so he burns the horse manure. Its real aromatic at burning time. My question is do you know if worm composting makes the horse manure 'safe'. Or know here to get information on the subject. I am planning to use my worm compost on my vegetable garden and am interested in a new source of food for my worms. Hi Bentley,

I have a question about the horse manure, or perhaps its more of a concern. I have been told ‘never ever add horse manure to a vegetable garden even well aged horse manure’.

My question is do you know if worm composting makes the horse manure ’safe’. Or know here to get information on the subject.

I am planning to use my worm compost on my vegetable garden and am interested in a new source of food for my worms.
