You'll also end up with a much higher quality compost in 1/4 of the time. Worm bins rock! Since moving to a 3rd floor home with now only a balcony garden, compost bins aren't viable for me. I've had a worm bin under my kitchen sink for several years and it works like a charm. It was easy and inexpensive to make, doesn't smell, gives me great top dressing for my plants and 'worm tea' to mix in the water for plant watering. Activate it by mixing a tablespoon of molasses with each quart of tea and dropping in an aquarium air stone for 48 hours. The result is like organic rocket fuel. I've seen plants turn an almost glowing electric green the day after feeding. Note that the nutrients don't change so much, but the microbial population increases several hundredfold -- it is they who are doing the major share of the feeding, now at high efficiency thanks to their greater number. I just turn the spigot on the bottom of my worm bin, drain some "worm tea" into my water can, fill with water and water the plants. It works great. I don't need more projects. I have a life Val |
