I have a question about the juicing "coconut pulp". Is this from coconuts that are brown and have no fiber around them? The fiber around coconuts is called coconut coir and worms love it as a bedding material. It is often called for to replace peat moss which some feel is not an ecological choice. Others feel coir is not an ecological choice due to transportation distance. But have you ever seen young coconut in the store? It is white and pointy. When opened they are filled with coconut water and a thin coating of coconut which is still soft inside like yogurt. The white material outside of the shell is a 1/2 inch layer of coconut coir and it will over time turn brown. If the shell is put into a worm bin, eventually the coir will fall off of the shell. It holds a lot of water and also air spaces. Worms love it. It is bedding. And you get to drink coconut water and eat young coconut or coconut 'yogurt'.

It is probably you are 100% right on all of the points in your recent post. I'll just add either my 2 cents worth or toss a bit of popcorn or eventually vermicompostable non salted peanut shells from the the peanut gallery. Powdered egg shells are what we do not want to breath when someone uses a coffee grinder or spice grinder on the egg shells. Maybe grinders grind the shells into little flake size pieces. Maybe those grind the shells into breatheable dust. I do not know. Maybe blending egg shells in liquid or quickly crushing in newspaper with a rolling pin is best. I agree egg shells are good in a worm bin from dust size to whole and any size in between. Exceptions made for those who do not like how egg shells look in vermicompost. I can agree the worms, similar to snakes, might need something with specific abilities to help with cocoon removal. I do not know what those specific things are or if egg shells have that. I do not know if egg shells provide grit for worms to digest. I do not know if worms need grit to digest. Yes worms have a gizzard type digestion system. Chickens need grit. I am not sure worms need grit. One poster here seemed to have done a test and some type of grit addition seemed to have done something positive. Archives somewhere. I'm just not yet on board with worms needing grit or with egg shells being grit. I have egg shells and adding them to the bin, whole, crushed and blenderized is done at various times. Again, I hate to not yet view the facts as you do, CarlosDanger. And I am probably wrong and could be convinced by facts the other way. I just have not bumped into those yet. I sort of disagree that worms have poorly-designed food processing systems. I do not think worms would be better off having ears, eyes, or teeth. All the better to hear, see and eat me with, my dear. I think worms fit into a system and in that system they are perfectly designed for their part in the system, poor digestion or not. Somebody, somewhere thought not having teeth was OK and called worms the "intestines of the earth". Maybe it is OK to not masticate ones food if one is an worm. Again I hate to disagree with you.

This one i tried yesterday after juicing the carrot... i gathered the pulp i got from my juicer.. you know my juicer extracts more pulp it squeezes thoroughly.. so i have to think of a way i can use the pulp, its a good fiber anyway.. Tried this at home: Carrot pulp burgers 1 cup shredded carrots optional it can be all juice pulp) 1/2 cup of carrot pulp 2 1/2 cups crushed cornflakes 2 eggs, beaten 1/4 cup finely chopped celery 1 tablespoon finely chopped onion salt and pepper to taste 2 to 3 tablespoons olive oil In a bowl, combine all these ingredients . carrot pulp, cornflakes, eggs, celery, onion, salt, & pepper; mix and form into patties. Heat oil in a pan over medium heat; cook patties for 3 minutes on each side or until browned serve with bans or any bread! kids would love it!:)

I finally got to see it today too, Kathy! The look of the pulp reminded me of Celluclay, but she had a nicer clay-like body to it and her surface was not as bumpy, but more like a pleasing sandstone texture. I loved her use of twigs and copper pipe embedded in the forms. What an inspiring show! I even liked Dee Gruenig's segment using resists to create images on the compressed stamping sponge. So which is cheaper Braun or Thunderstick? Any other similar products? Guess this non-cook needs to head to the small appliance department, lol!
