We have eggs and shells from the runner duck team. Some of the shells are ground up for treats for the red wrigglers in the worm farm 360. The rest of the shells have been added to the compost pile as slow release nutrients. We could do more apple cider vinegar for the garden. We could do more foliar sprays. <a href="https://epicure.social/tags/Vermiculture" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Vermiculture</a>, <a href="https://epicure.social/tags/minnesota" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#minnesota</a>, <a href="https://epicure.social/tags/nodig" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#nodig</a>, <a href="https://epicure.social/tags/compost" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#compost</a>, <a href="https://epicure.social/tags/koreannaturalfarming" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#koreannaturalfarming</a>.

Newspapers use vegetable-based ink, but glossy paper often has ink that has chemicals you don't want in your food. Glue inside cardboard layers is made from starch - fine for composting.<a href="https://www.gardenmyths.com/safe-compost-paper-cardboard/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.gardenmyths.com/safe-compost-paper-cardboard/</a> <a href="https://musician.social/tags/vermiculture" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#vermiculture</a>

Pollinators<a href="https://urbanists.social/@docdieterlen" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@docdieterlen</a>. Yes. Enjoy your home recycling. The composting process consumes paper. The composting micro team is taking small bites so small pieces speed up the process whether it’s eating an apple core or a paper towel tube. Also, the composting micro team likes the food rations moist, but not dripping wet. Do you have worms on the team? <a href="https://epicure.social/tags/compost" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#compost</a>, <a href="https://epicure.social/tags/Vermiculture" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Vermiculture</a>.

PollinatorsSaturday February 8. The Dark Times of the feudal tech lords are close. Very close. We are fortunate. We hope we can plant, nurture, and harvest these seeds and others.

We end up using worm castings, worm extract, fresh worm tea, and oxygenated worm tea through the seasons. We were gifted a barely wormed worm farm 360. The outside world is frozen for several months in the current climate. The fresh worm tea goes in the compost pile until we have starts. <a href="https://epicure.social/tags/Vermiculture" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Vermiculture</a>, <a href="https://epicure.social/tags/compost" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#compost</a>, <a href="https://epicure.social/tags/minnesota" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#minnesota</a>, <a href="https://epicure.social/tags/growyourown" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#growyourown</a>.

ChocotaloI bought a <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/wormfarm" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#wormfarm</a> a few months back, and I've never had one of these before. I have a bokashi bin, but I just eat way too much fruit for it to handle all of the peels, so I thought why not get a worm farm to handle all of the non-citrus and foods that they like, and keep my bokashi bin for non-worm things.Since getting it, we've had real hot days (35C+), and more recently, 40C+ for days, so I always wake up to a few on my floor that have met an unfortunate end.I haven't put too much food in to it yet, just bits here and there and hoping they'll enjoy themselves enough inside to not want to try to escape.Here, I've put some coffee grounds and some corn silk and mixed it all in. The worms have since gone to town, and there's barely any of it left. I just dropped little bits of lettuce in today, so I'll see how it goes. The hope is to generate fertiliser and a lovely soil to put towards my garden. 🌱If you have any tips whatsoever for this newbie, let me know. <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/vermiculture" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#vermiculture</a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/maze" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#maze</a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/compost" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#compost</a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/compostrevolution" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#compostrevolution</a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/worms" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#worms</a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/zerowaste" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#zerowaste</a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/urbangardening" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#urbangardening</a>

RastaHaven't seen my earth friends in 3 months! They must still be alive, the food is disappearing.

Yvonne PerkinsI am in the office today for free air conditioning. My home office desk is in front of a west facing window so it is not possible to work there on hoy days.Though I will ensure the air conditioning is on in another section of the house to keep the worms cool.

Interesting to hear about your worm setup. We were really into <a href="https://vmst.io/tags/vermiculture" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#vermiculture</a> when we were stuck in a dumb town home but with us moving and having a bit of space for chickens we gave up on the red wigglers. You say you keep yours outside? I never really considered that. They don't mind the winter?

Pollinators<a href="https://mastodon.green/@Broadfork" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@Broadfork</a>. I see. The badgers like to eat earthworms. Your allotment has the best free range earthworms in town.

TomTook a couple of photos today when I was feeding the worms. They've survived below 0F / -18C winters, recovered from spontaneous composting that cooked most of them in the summer once, and have been doing pretty good this year without any drama except it took a while for them to recover from last winter. Coffee grounds, produce scraps, and paper are their food.<a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/vermiculture" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#vermiculture</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/RedWigglers" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#RedWigglers</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/worms" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#worms</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/gardening" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#gardening</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/MastodonOnly" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#MastodonOnly</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/CCBYNCND" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#CCBYNCND</a>

MCDuncanLabHi Folks,I'm considering trying vermicompost this year because our kitchen scraps serve as deer food in the compost pile.Any tips? I'm considering just using the worms from my compost pile and not red wigglers since they are not native and can easily escape.I'm planning to use the three-bucket method.<a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/gardening" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#gardening</a> <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/vermicompost" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#vermicompost</a> <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/vermiculture" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#vermiculture</a> <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/WormComposting" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#WormComposting</a> <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/GrowYourOwn" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#GrowYourOwn</a>

Simon FormanOne of the fascinating things about compost worms (Eisenia foetida) is that they don't actually eat living plant tissue. Instead they savor the brown rotty stuff that forms on decaying plant and animal tissues.I've seen worms reach up to damaged leaves and pull them down to the soil to clean them up and have a snack. I'm trying to say: they're gardeners. They keep the garden tidy (at their scale) and healthy.<a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/compost" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#compost</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/compostodon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#compostodon</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/worms" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#worms</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/vermiculture" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#vermiculture</a>
