I just wanted to update this with pictures as of today. I am now mowing on the 3rd lowest setting. 1 and 2 give me swirl marks due to the uneven ground. Still though, very pleased with it. I sourced some 28-0-0 from a feed store that is 1/2 slow and 1/2 fast, and 100% cheap. I also put down some milorganite in between apps of the 28-0-0. Think I will do that one more time this year. Square of front yard: Me on the left with the same neighbor as the pic up at the top of this thread.

Hey Haruko, Thanks for your post, and fear not - it can be remedied. I would echo everything that equinoxequinox said, including this being something that almost all worm farmers go through. I discovered just today, in fact, that one of my bins had a soggy, smelly bottom on one side. I dug out all the goop until I could see the bottom of the bin. Then I added several inches of dry bedding to the bottom, and then layered dry bedding with the goop as I added it back in. Several times I actually hand-mixed the bedding with the goop if it was particularly goopy or prone to make big clumps. I'm going to give it at least a week for the bedding to absorb the excess moisture and balance the whole thing out. Then I'll start adding small amounts of food mixed half-and-half with barely damp bedding. Even though I was worried some of my worms had died (though I really have no evidence of that), there were tons of cocoons in the goop, so I know the bin will recover. Good luck, and let us know how it goes!

My engineer husband surprised me with a Janome 10001 3 years ago. I was not involved in the research, but I have heard stories of him asking a lot of questions with his clipboard of graphs and research! I love the Janome. It is easy to go from sewing to embroidery. My friend forgot how to add the embroidery attachments to her machine so does not use that feature anymore. I got 1 year of embroidery club lessons with my machine and I can bring my machine in anytime to get help using it. Which machine has the best support for you closeby? I also get a 10% off materials and supplies at the shop my machine was purchased. It is easy to download designs using the Easy Transfer software. I do not have capability to edit designs or digitize my own designs. I can expand to get that by buying a customizer or digitizer but they are expensive. The disigns sew out very nice, the machine sews beautifully. Try looking at embroidery library website for designs, patterns, and ideas for any machine you purchase. I think you can get disney designs on the Brother Disney, but not on the Janome format (JEF). Hope that gives you some help. Vicki

Its a design and color thing, we want to make the house "ours" and with the tile that is down right now its just not "us" we figure if we can lay a "floating" type of floor it would also help preserve the tile underneath.....
