How to Generate Massive Amounts of Free Compost



If you have difficulty finding horse manure to use for composting try Craigslist. Where I live, a quick search yields all the free horse manure you could ever desire. :-)

As an alternative, you could also use rabbit manure. I have personally used rabbit manure for vermicomposting for several years. I like it as a alternative to horses and cattle. Rabbits are not generally given the same types of medications that larger domestic livestock receive.

Armed with this new knowledge and strategy for generating an unlimited supply of free compost for gardening, you now have no excuse not to start your own backyard garden.

To speed up the process you could inoculate the compost pile with some red wiggler worms, but in my experience that's not really necessary. A big pile of the "stuff" will attract red wigglers on its' own. But if you already have some red wigglers, or can find a source of them from a family, friend, or neighbor by all means use them to turbo charge your composting efforts.
