Cardboard/ Paper. How do you feed it in?
Comments (14)LOL Lloyd .. I put newspapers in whole, I'm anal and always put them back together as I read them, looks brand new. At first I regretted it because it made it difficult to turn the CP, but it wasn't long (2 weeks maybe) and they were almost all gone. These days I shred them at work when I'm finished reading them at work and bring home bags and bags of shredded paper. Cardboard just gets layered on, after a couple of rains to soften them up .. and I've gotten lazy, I don't turn anymore, and the CP seems to shrink faster than it did when I did turn....See MoreBrazilian Banana Plants II, How Do You Like These Bananas??

Comments (8)it's kind of hard as the old food seems to oxidize and looks a lot like bedding after a week. I have been going by smell~ if I can still smell fruit or vegetable peelings or coffee grounds, I will wait another day or two to feed the worms. I still don't feed all that much, though, as I only have about sixty worms! (An definate increase on the forty I started with, and man, those little guys eat! up to about a 1/2 cup a week~ a lot for these critters. However, with all the worm cocoons placed in the bin by my 'herd' this past month, I figure this will definately have to be increased by after Christmas.

Comments (46)Back To Fertilizing: In the past I have used MG blue water soluble (24-8-16) during the grwing time. I usually have used it at ~~ 1/2 strength but more often. Now I hear some arguing that perhaps a 3-1-2 ratio of NPK is too rich in N and too poor in P. So to cope with that I have bought a quart of Alaska fish fert with 0-10-10 ratio. A Gardener's Master Brew: I want to mix the MG 24-8-16 and Alaska 0-10-10 such that I get a 10-10-15 ratio. A little bit messing with the numbers I came up with a pretty good brew: === TAKE 7 PORTIONS OF 0-10-10 SOLUTION , ( made as recommended.) === TAKE 4 PORTIONS OF 24-8- 16 SOLUTION (made as recommended) What I get is pretty close to an equivalent of 10-10-14 (NPK).solution I have reduced N and increased P. Now my tomato plants should have no excuse for not to fruiting aplenty . LOL Of course, I make a much concentrated mix , such the I take just a cup of it for 2 gallons of watering can. An it lasts for a few application. The 1st app was delivered on 6/5/15. To further spice it up, I also add a pinch of Epsom salt and some calcium acetate as supplement. The best brew ever. hahaha Sey...See Moremike_rivers
