worms in sump
I have recently found a considerable amount of worms in the sump. The Ph is 6.5 to 7 and the bedding is just moist not wet and there is no liquid in the sump.

RE: fizzy bins
I was a bit concerned as Id never heared this before. maybe I need to add another tray. the worms seem fine and the bins don't smell and they have a good Ph.
Thanx Willy for your input

RE: Horse manure
Got some horse manure this week. The stables said it had been there ages. It was collected from the back of the pile to try and get the oldest. The manure does not have an odour but has lots of small red worms about 20 mm long. I've looked on the web and I believe them to be "strongyles" a horse int...

RE: Tree leafs as a bedding
Ok Willy sounds as If you need to be careful how you use leafs. I think Ill collect a wad and let them completely dry out in the garage and see how it goes.

RE: Horse manure
Thank you Willy. I doubt the stables have any aged manure. After your comments im considering using an old type dustbin to age it in as I have very little garden. it could sit in there for three months to expel all the nasties . yes I do have the lid.

Horse manure
A stables near me have a sign up for free horse manure.
Has anyone any advise or experience using this medium for bedding ?
How old should it be for it not generate any heat etc and how would you prepare it for use if it was fresh ?

Tree leafs as a bedding
question please. I live next to a park which has many horse chestnut trees in it. We have had very high winds of late and the park is covered in leafs most of which are now brown. I believe the leafs will be all right when brown as a change to corrugated cardboard as a bedding. Do they need to be we...
