Healthy soil and sustainable growing

["Barbara Fischer" <cen12205@centurytel.net>]

Depending on where you live, I would not switch to an herbal wormer.  They
just do not do the same job.  I have had my goats on chemical wormers for 18
years and do use the manure in composting.....no problems.  Sometimes I
think we get too picky and technical.
