On different note (I had a convo with a coach about this today), I was told that spreading your OWN muck-heap on your OWN fields isn't good (Makes keeping worms at bay difficult). Do you have a reallysuperawesomeironclad worming progamme, or do your horses do just fine anyway?
I'm not very eco-friendly really. I take the bus a lot and recycle most stuff. My collage has a recycling system in place, with all the different bins and a severe talking to for not using them. And they bag and sell all their manure (But that's just buisness innit?). My own yard isn't particularly eco-friendly either, although I did get given out to for cold-hosing my horses leg 'cause of the environment' (?).
Nice topic though, I like the rainwater collecting thing!
I hadn't heard anything about problems with worming, though it's an interesting thought. I do have a pretty swell worming program (if I do say so myself), and we don't spread on pasture - we have a lot of acreage that is for hacking and hay production (we don't do our own hay; our neighbor round-bales it for his cattle).
Ahh! Makes sense! I admit I'm pretty useless at the whole worming thing (I don't understand ANY of it, but I'm learning!), same with Grassland Management!
