| Does anyone know about a product called raybon. The people I am getting horse manure use a salt lick that contains raybon to controll flies.
Is this deadly for my worms?
Thnaks for any help. Darren |

| never heard of it, and apparently google hasn't either :) I doubt a fly repellent would have much effect on earthworms, or that there'd be much of it in the manure or urine .... what may be a concern would be the worm meds frequently fed to horses, although I haven't seen any problems with it myself Bill |

| Thanks Bill I am very careful to make sure all manure is seperated from the horses for a "minimum" of a month before the worms get it. Darren |

| a real good policy is to run the horse biscuits thru a shredder along with the stable bedding [straw or wood chips] and hot compost it - will take care of any possible problems with horse meds, but more important, insure there's not an excess of nitrogen that may cause heating in the worm bin Bill |
