[QUOTE="Richardin52, post: 1017515, member: 18391"] I use chicken manure on hayfields. This is the wet stuff. I can get it for $250.00 for a trailer full delivered. I only need to put it on every two or three years at a rate of 3,000 lbs/ acre which is pretty light figuring how much water is in it. This manure is from laying hens so it has lime in it too. I see a lot of worms in my fields and thats really good. I understand that anything that goes through a worm comes out with a ph of 7. A worm can live up to four years and have 1.5 million babies. If you can get up to 25 worms per sq. Ft. They will put out 100,000 lbs. Of worm castings per acre per year. I would be happy with 10,000 lbs per acre. Call me a hippy or a tree hugger but I don't put anything on my fields that will kill earth worms. Most people don't ever think about them and do stuff that kills thousands every year. [/QUOTE]
