Do you keep livestock? Having any problems? Want to talk about it, whether it be sheep, goats, chickens, pigs, bees or llamas, here is your place to discuss.
I had a look through my worm bath today, as I do every so often, and could find no evidence of worm activity. I dug through the whole thing by hand and after much searching found one! I have ssen no evidence of migration so all I can assume is they died due to worming chemicals present i the horse and cattle poo I used.
So now I gotta set it all up again, but this time use cocopeat instead of poo then restock with new worms.
You could have some of my goat muck, if you weren't so far away... The goats haven't needed worming for the past three years, and the muck crawls with worms!

I had imagined the family lying slaughtered in the kitchen ... but then my imagination is oftentimes far too vivid.
Nev, I've had entire worm farms cark it as well, despite the fact that everything I've put in there was organic, no possibility of chemicals. Sometimes the critters just do a mass suicide thing, I think.
If you want to be happy for a day, buy a car. If you want to be happy for a weekend, get married. If you want to be happy for a lifetime, be a gardener.

What REALLY worries me is that people think I would put that kind of post in the "Livestock" section.........

That is a worry! Well I'll re-do it and see how things go. I don't think they were actually thriving anyway........

LOL I read by new posts only, not section by section, so which section a post is in often escapes me.
I still would have gone for the kitchen scenario, though ...

However for a moment I thought you meant your chooks, so I am rather relieved!
