News alert: You may be sitting on a pot of gold...black gold, that is. If you have a horse or two, or three, you probably think you have a manure disposal problem. But what you actually have is a fertilizer bonanza.Using Earthworms To Quickly Make FertilizerEverybody probably knows about compost piles and manure piles. Pile it all up, and wait. And wait. Composting takes time and who's got the patience?Those fields need fertilizing. Now. Whether you use it for grazing or hay cutting, that grass is not going to grow all by itself. Commercial fertilizers are expensive, especially if it's organic. I mean really expensive.Meanwhile, you're spending a fortune feeding your horses expensive grains and legumes. And it's all going out the other end. The good news is, this expensive feeding-to-supplement-grazing produces some awfully rich manure. Trouble is, in order to benefit your grass, it needs to be broken down by microbes and other poop eaters.Among the most prolific poop eaters are earthworms In fact, if you simply pile up your manure, some very opportunistic earthworms will just show up. Hence their name, "manure worms" These are wild worms, not in any behavioral sort of way, but "occurring in the wild" earthworms that convert steaming piles of poop into beautiful, rich "castings". "Castings?" you ask. That's another word for worm poop.So, what, I've got another pile of poop? Well no, not exactly. Worm poop or worm castings are much more readily available for your grass's roots to uptake than fresh horse poop.Horses are notoriously bad at digesting all the roughage they consume. If you examine it closely, and I know you have, horse manure contains an awful lot of hay and bits of grain that just got wasted by your horse. (Another reason horses are so costly. Sigh..)Not to worry. You can recoup some of your investment by vermi-composting all that lovely, "steaming pile of poop" and fertilize your pastures with it.You can either wait for those wild worms to show up (they're usually very late). Or, you can add your own worms to the manure pile. The best worms for the job are red worms (redworms, red wigglers, etc.) and European night crawlers.There's another angle to this endeavor in the money department. These worms you just added to your manure pile? They are going to reproduce. Bigly (having a wild side themselves). They are going to reproduce so well, in fact, you'll soon have a worm problem.Maybe "problem" is a misnomer. Because, pound for pound, worms are one of the most profitable farm animals being raised on purpose for selling. Sold as fishing worms, pet food (got chickens?) and, you guessed it, other people with a horse manure problem.You now have an added bonus from creating your own pasture fertilizer: a cash cow...er...cash worm.Follow me as I set up this cash worm, fertilizer generator, a.k.a. "worm farm", with neighbors next door. They have boo-koo horses and a resulting horse manure problem, as well as depleted pastures due to over grazing and our well-know poor, sandy soil.So, grab your shovel!Worm Farm GuideLooking to convert your horse farm's growing manure piles into pasture fertilizer and generate extra cash? I share my specialized knowledge on successful worm farming and vermi-composting for beginners in an easy to understand manual. Included:Whether your trying to grow worms for your own use or want to grow enough to sell commercially, this manual gives you the information I wish I'd had when I first started.Cut into small pieces, with a knife or food processor, not big chunksMoist buy not soggyHorse manure qualifies as soft (unless it's been left out to dry).The predigested condition conveniently provided by the horse insures it is small enough for the worms' toothless little mouths.The presence of microbes provided by the horse's gut benefits the worms' digestive system.It is rich in nutrients (if the horse has been fed correctly) due to the notoriously wasteful process of the horse's digestion. There's plenty left over for the worms.Worms absolutely love it.It's the safest worm food as far as acid poisoning is concerned.Horse manure is invaluable for raising worms commercially.If you have access to horse manure and intend to use it as worm food, there are a few things you should do to prevent problems and get the most out of your horse manure.Never feed your worms manure from horses who have just been wormed. Wait a week after deworming to collect.Never mix fresh horse manure into your worm bedding. It will heat up your bed and kill your worms or cause them to crawl out of the bedApply fresh horse manure on the top of your bedding, in a shallow line down the middle. Worms will gather underneath to feed and have room to get away should the manure heat up.If you must change out your bedding or turn it (you are turning your beds, right?) remove any uneaten fresh manure before doing so.Prevent the manure from drying out by dampening it periodically.Horse manure that is aged (i.e. composted) makes excellent worm bedding and contributes to the most excellent vermicompost by-product.To insure your aged horse manure is safe to use as worm bedding, do the following:Collect horse manure and allow it to heat up if it hasn't already.Dampen any composted horse manure and allow it to heat up again if it's going to before introducing any earthworms.Mix the composted, cooled down manure at a 50/50 ratio with some "brown" material such as shredded paper, shredded cardboard, etc. The best material for this mixture is pure sphagnum peat moss (no fertilizer added). Wet and toss this mixture, allow to sit for about 36 hours, and test the ph before adding your worms. Peat moss is especially acid and requires the dampening and waiting period to neutralize it.If you're seriously considering starting a worm farm as a business, read the other posts in this blog.
