Wormfarming Update

I didn't know the date until I looked at a calendar. Either way, my worms and garden are doing great. Me too, and retirement made all the difference. I always wanted to be a wormfarmer because it sounded cool. I never want to make money from my worms, I just want to feed my garden so it can feed my wife, myself and the worms. It's working pretty good, I admit it's getting better all the time. Life can be pretty good, if you are ever able to slow down enough to really give it a try. It's not easy to do, I'll admit, but sometimes you have no choice. I'm thankful for that now, but I sure wasn't at the time my time was up.

We just started our first worm bin and are excited to do this with our children to get them more involved in the garden, its up keep, etc....

Thanks!

George, thanks for posting your progress

Worms are sometimes like children, you have to help them make the right decision. Step out of the box and do things a little unconventionally. Dump all your trays together in one tray (I noticed the material was a pretty thin layer), load your empty trays up with fresh bedding and leave the finished tray on the top with the lid off. Then start turning the material a few times a day. The turning, light, and the natural drying of the material will drive the worms down into the fresh trays.

Yeah a George update Yippie Dippy Doo, I am so glad you had a moment of inspiration :-) Love your updates I learn so much. I want to see where your water fountain is that you can hear in the background of your video:-) Everything looks great!

I am doing my first harvest as I write, I'm taking a break, tons of cocoons but it looks and smells sweet!!

Hey George we live in the same hood..South Austin

things look nice. keep up the good work. i always look forward to your up dates.

i am finishing up my two stackable systems first load of castings. i have filled up both 5 tray systems and i think its really just about processing now. i am just letting things coast through the summer.

we had 110f here in vegas last weekend and they started to leave the bin.

i am using your frozen water bottle technique for keeping the worms cool now. i think its helping.

Good seeing you again George! I have the solution to your tomato problem. Buy a roll of concrete mesh. It has 4" square openings. Get a small bolt cutter and cut off enough to make a roll big enough in diameter for your tomato plantt to grow inside it. Hell, it's much easier for me to show you than tell you. I'll try to get a video up in a few days showing my garden and the tomato cages I made. They have lasted several years and will for many more.

Greetings George! Would you make a longer video, showing the whole garden again? I need something to get me motivated to make more raised beds. I love how many you have. Keep us updated and watch the heat. I know you will.
