If You're Worm Composting for Your Gardening Efforts... 2007-01-28 13:24:00 If you're worm composting for the purpose of having a better garden this year, then let me remind you, that is only part of the picture.Castings are definitely the very best when it comes to soil ammendment, but it is not all you have to figure into the equation.Starting early when you live up North is sometimes the only answer to getting a good harvest. And I would imagine that where it gets hot, it would be beneficial to start early as well.No doubt about it, where-ever you live, you're going to get a more bountiful harvest if you get a jump on the gardening season. Even if you already get a good harvest from a product maybe you could get enough of a season to actually be able to plant a second crop, or even a third.If you are planning your garden space well, feeding your soil and keepi
I'm starting a new Worm Bin Composting blog. 2007-01-17 17:53:00 I happened across a forum called GardenStew.com. There seems to be alot of really great people there, the lay-out is easy to follow and interesting. Not the ordinary, run-of-the-mill forum. And they also have the option of starting a blog, which is also easy to set up. They didn't seem to have anyone really talking about worm bin composting so I started a new topic on it and set myself up a blog as well. I would like to invite you over to check it out. Go to www.GardenStew.com I will not be abandoning this blog. The two are completely different. There is much more interaction over at GardenStew so I will take the lead of all the people who ask questions and have things to say.This blog will remain a step-by-step process of what's happen
Winter<---->Spring<---->Winter<---->Spring 2008-03-17 00:46:00 This time of year it's hard for the weather to make up it's mind. You just get to where you're thinking spring and winter hits again. It's not really winter cause the snow is more slush and the temp in the air is definitely warmer. But even so, Ol' Man Winter is still saying, "Not yet."That's right, we got snow last night. Just a dusting really and it was gone by end of day. Still enough of a reminder to not get too anxious yet. So I went out to check on the worms tonight, probably only the second time this week. The bins are showing more and more signs of worm population. Can't wait to get my hands in there this week. Just a reminder, Episode 3 of "As The Worms Turn" will be coming up early this week. Be sure and tune in. We're going to talk about watering the bin, why and how much Read more:Spring

Trying To Determine an Anaerobic Smell 2008-06-06 11:48:00 Decomposing food smells sour and stinky. Anaerobic smells past that. It smells like death, food death.If something just smells like rotting bad food your okay. Anaerobic is a smell you probably haven't smelled until you have a bin that's gone anaerobic. Usually that smell will be at the bottom of the bin where there is no air and it's too wet. When you get a whiff of it you will know, it will send Read more:Smell
