This morning our vet was out to check one of our horses and wormed all three
of them, which we haven't done for a while now. I have always worried about
the wormer since I use the manure, eventually in the gardens and had heard
that the wormer will stay in the manure and kill the garden worms. True?
My husband said it was a long-acting wormer - which negated the ability to
turn them back out and keep them away from the good manure piles while the
wormer moves through them. We dry lot these horses every spring due to
foundering and therefore have decent year-old manure that's already done
some good composting with hay mixed in. Then I take that manure and will
usually put it on the compost pile - so it sits another year - but this year
I was going to try some application of the old composted manure on some of
the tomato beds and till it in. Any input on this would be appreciated.
