When I make bedding for our composting worms, I grab all the paper I can find and shred it into very little pieces.
When the worm bin is too dry I soak this in water and it fixes the humidity.
When the worm bin is too wet I just add the dry paper.
The really big pro of doing this is that you limit the risks of adding intruders to the bin that might be in the brown material. I have yet to find any cons for this method.
Garden is producing a bumper strawberry crop this year. Frozen blueberries are from last year’s garden.
Got the sweet corn planted yesterday. Today I need to put wire cages over each row to keep the crows from pulling up the seeds when they sprout. #PNW#Gardens#Gardening#GrowYourOwn
It's a slug party,
and I've bought them all a beer
Let's invite them to come right over,
and have a great cheer
It was the cheapest beer they sell nearby
But for a party it will fly
The question is really,
Will they just get drunk, or die?
The YouTube channel Primitive Technology is one of my favorites.
In this fascinating little video, they explain a very simple technique for making charcoal in a closed pot.
The applications of charcoal in the compost pile are very useful. You can simply add some to your worm bins, the goal of doing this will be to keep the moisture of your bin important in the summer months.
It will supercharge your worm compost in nutrients.
