What a shame, when one smells ammonia one is loosing nitrogen.


righto. both bins are now in the worm bins.
the second bin didn't have the same ammonia
smell. the worms will sort it out before spring.
they have a few months.

it was a good test to see though if the worm
casting innoculant of the soybean husks would
be enough bacterial population to keep the fungi
from dominating. it didn't. so test done.
worms added. all is well. ammonia smelly husks
now buried in several inches of worms and dirt.
