Manure!!!!!!!!!!!! Help have I messed up

I have some questions about manure and have I done the right thing.

This manure I have got is approx 7 years old, mother said when it was on the trailer yesterday before I unloaded it, it looked great but today I unloaded it on mothers veggie plot and when I was spreading it, it looks more like a worm farm as I notice it was full of worms, and not just a few I mean loads of them,



have I done harm to mother plot or are they ok.

Can I put to much manure on the plot? I am spreading it all over the area



and leaving approx one third of the area with no manure, because after doing some reading on the forum I gather root veg don't like it, is this correct

I went back this after noon and got another trailer load



but wont unload it till I hear its ok with the worms.

Advice appreciated. Thanks Jord

 

It looks lovely stuff, you can deliver a load at my door any day, worms and all.

 

Thanks Pete, I have been worrying all afternoon, I shall now go and report to mother what I have been doing this afternoon what a relief. Thanks again

 

I agree with @pete -brilliant stuff, and the more worms the better!

 

cheers Snorky there a lot of info regarding worm farming but none that addressed the garden and worms , I have now stopped panicking hopefully have the plot covered tomorrow although we are forecast some rain it will be after i have finished

 

I'm guessing they are the red worms that you find in compost rather than normal earth worms, but they will do no harm at all.

 

Yes Pete red worms spot on, can I over do the plot with manure, should I hold some back

 

Spread it on liberally. I have just done that with the manure I had. The red worms will wriggle off into the soil and carry on converting organic matter into food for the other soil organisms and from them into your plants.
Wish I could get a 20 ton load delivered here.

 

I only ever use free delivery.
That is if there ever was such a thing.

 

I would if I had a tipper I tried unloading the trailer by fork, man that stuffs heavy, in the end I used the 4 in 1 bucket on the digger to drop it aroung the plot then knocked it about with the fork. Good idea though how would one price it up

 

"Where there's muck there's brass", an old Kentish saying.

 

Here its were there's muck there's worms

 

I have been doing some research on the subject, am I right in thinking it is only fresh manure one cannot grow root vegetables

 

I think its more freshly manured ground, rather than the manure itself.
