A few days ago one of our neighbors down the road told me that I could have all the horse manure that I wanted. I went and looked and this stuff is in an area that is about 60ft by 60ft. Its already been there about 3 or 4 years. Its actually soil now. Dark black, rich soil. He asked me to come get all that I want from now on. He even said please. I have taken my tractor down there and loaded my dirt bucket up about 40 times and I have not even made a dent in it. He was using it to fill in low lying areas.

My cost? I've givin him two bottles of homemade wine. Unbelieveable. I also noticed that there were worms. That has peaked my interest. I am now ordering about 4000 red worms and I am going to start a worm ranch. By this time next year I am going to start selling bait worms to the plentyfull bait shops around the area at a price that they can not afford to pass up. I aint never going to get rich off of it but I bet I can add $600 to $800 dollars a month to my pocket.

So, with my bird house and garden planter sales, worms and hopefully garden produce sales starting next year, I may never work for anyone else again. Not that I have in a while but things are actually starting to come together for me. I dont like bosses, its hard to get them trained

As I always say, "You dont make money when you sell something... you make it when you obtain it."

FREE manure (with worms tossed in) - that's a good thing.
