Healthy soil and sustainable growing

[Debbie McDonald <lbirke1@yahoo.com>]

I had written down a womans phone off of craigslist that had composted horse manure but most horse people worm their horses with chemical wormers at least every other month and some feed that daily wormer plus those automatic fly spray systems that are very common, so, I did not call to get any.

Yep, make your own compost is probably still the safest advice. BTW I understand there are no organic standards for compost. They can call it natural or anything that sells. And what I see usually says "forest products". Which means slow to break down and depletes nitrogen. Maybe OK for mulch?
