Should I get one? They are AUS$69 at Aldi from this Thursday

the soil won't grow us food without them...

I've been using something like this for my organic kitchen waste



Is a worm farm much different?

i know a guy that used to grow weed in his garden and he used worm manure

i found it gross

I used to, but those tiny little barbed wire fences are a bitch to maintain.

plus stud fees would have been astronomical on account of how hard it is to tell which end is which

Dewrede said:

so was it better weed because of it?

^^according to him it was

frankly i was a little grossed out by it when i learnt that

Dewrede said:

don't be such a wuss

you know there are worms inside the normal ground too!!! worms aerate the soil and leave nutrients for the plants!

yeah but the idea to smoke weed that's grown on worm poo is just

Dewrede said:

do you know what fertilizer is? it's SHIT did you know that most veggies are grown using fertilizer made of dead animals and animal poo





worm poo would be the least of your worries don't you think?

^ ewww i didn't know about dead animals being used as fertilizer

how do i tell which are grown on that ?

In my pants.


WORDPLAY!

I don't even know if it's a requirement to let people know that

it's 100% organic I'd imagine, so it might be popular if it's not expensive

you might have to look for produce that is "vegan organic"

I'd love to build a compost bin like that sometime. Don't you have to get red wiggler worms?

ernestsewell said:

I have no idea! We just have ordinary earth worms

My friend told me that you can put your cat and drog droppings in there, EXCEPT after you have wormed your animal, that kills all the worms

(I looked up red wigglers, looks like the worms we have actually )

Dewrede said:

Worm poo is soil! They make the shit, as it were. I used to keep worms just for fun when I was a nipper. Fabulous things.

I still rescue them from the pavements after the rain

ZombieKitten said:

You're also supposed to not put limes in there. It'll totally neutralize the decomposition process. Any kind of meat is a as well.

SAY WHAT a worm farm


ewwwww

Some of these folks need to rediscover their links with nature.

Our neighbour has a worm farm. Not sure how it is doing these days. I have not talked to him about it since last Summer.
That seems pretty expensive for a worm farm.
We have one of those plastic compost bins here but to be honest, I prefer the ones I had back in the states that were homemade.
We built 3 separate compartments, one for grass clippings, one for leaves and plant clippings and such from the huge yard we had and one for kitchen food waste (fruits, veg, coffee grinds, eggs....). Then we would rotate. The Florida heat worked well to break things down as long as we stirred regularly.
It was great soil for the veg & fruit garden.

Nah, I use Kelly Wigglers for bait.

you should try searching youtube for the oprah episode where
they had like a 10 minute segment on worm farms, lol.

it was actually pretty informative. but you can imagine what
oprah was like, being around worms and all

do you mean the citrus fruit or this?

My neighbor and I have a worm bin. It makes great compost.

Ours is just a wood box on the ground, basically. One half holds dry leaves and the other holds kitchen scraps, and we layer the leaves on top of scraps when we put them in.

I never actually see the worms, but there are other weird little creepy crawlies that get in there and hang out on top. They gross me out. I deal with it.

jeezes

worms
