Hi, I've just found your channel and subscribed great information, I live in Perth too, i get my horse manure in a stable in Darling Downs my question is regarding dewormer long to get rid of the dewormer? I have 2 trailer loads of horse manure mixed with 2 trailer loads of aged wood chips composting how. Thanks Joe
I load my compost with spent brewing grains. The grains sour very quickly with lactobacillus bacteria. My compostables heat up like crazy and breaks down very quickly. I wonder if the grains acts like your "spice" ferment.
Thats great to hear. Yes, I would imagine the fermented grain has a suite of bacteria working their magic just like my SPICE compost. You could always add seaweed powder for extra minerals to your pile.
My neighbors giving me an endless amount of horse manure that is probably around five years old. It has been out on the field. It is not dry at all. It is kind of gooey like Play-Doh and full of worms. It seems to be very rich, but I’m not sure. It’s not crumbly at all. It’s like you can make mud balls with it without any fluid coming out. What do you think? Is it good? Will it lack nutrients after five years, should I add something? Thanks for any assistance.
Half ur luck, horse manure is great & if it is full of worms it has got to be good mate, maybe try & break it up into ur compost for extra nutrients with all that worm activity, chunks of this in a tea bag would be a great addition also watered into compost or the ground around any plants. It’s all about bio activity and worms are a good sign of the conditions present & the PH.
Thats amazing you still have moisture in it. The fact you have worms in it is an indication they have been processing the organic matter further and have added value by exuding goodies such as amino acids back into the compost. The moment the rain arrives/season breaks I would be spreading that compost onto your paddocks or making a compost tea and spraying it. Cheers Robyn
