Worms like it wetter than I thought...
Comments (19)fisheggs, How about a 5th choice. Flip the first bin into a second bin. The wet will be on top and the dry on the bottom. The worms will now eat the stuff on top and in a bit the bin will be evenly worked over by the worms. rom.calgary.ab, That is so interesting I have never heard the information put quite that way and clearly. He posted "anaerobic bacteria are the ones that create the alcohol and sulphur compounds that tend to smell more. Also, anaerobic bacteria will decompose organic matter at a slower rate than aerobic bacteria". Any thoughts on how this relates to bokashi? I think of bokashi as pickling. Are anaerobic bacteria what make wine and beer? Seeing as how worms can live in aquarium gravel obviously it is not how wet but how much disolved oxygen. Water can hold oxygen. That is how fish breath. I so agree with you about can't be too wet but can be not enough oxygen. shaul, The researcher's best moisture % data may of varried due to how much oxygen was available to the bacteria in the vermicomposting process. sbryce, "Keeping things wet and aerated can be difficult." Yes I think that is the secret or trick to vermicomposting, geting that mix right. All you, my favorite posters, seem to have used similar or different methods to balance the air / mositure mixture. And a lot of the posts are about messing around with ways to do this best. I do this in the undrained bin with false bottoms of egg cartons and such and cardboard tube to the hollow bottom. I love reading about all the new ideas for getting the mix of air and water right that I might also try. joe.jr317, "my bins are more like saturated chamois cloths. Completely saturated without losing water." I like your analogy so much better than a rung out sponge. I will try my bins more towards this way. And just shy of anerobic. As wet as I can get the bins without them going anerobic. I do not know that I would advise it to beginners because even with the goal of a rung out sponge they over feed and get drippy chamois. Maybe the wrung out sponge analagy is good because it shows the airspaces needed in the moist enviornment. And why does nearly everybody add their cardboard wet? The dry cardboard give my vermicast manufacturing process its structure and air pathways. Plus I do not have to tear it. ~dry cardboard proponent...See MoreStepparent custody and visitation
Comments (21)Ha. My Ex actually linked up with SM at a daycare where my children were going. He left me for her, and actually it was humorous to see her thinking she knew more about raising children than I did. He, after divorcing me, married her, and she was their stepmom. And actually I did see after I got over my anger that she was a pretty good person. Eleven years later she left my ex by moving in with and finally marrying his ex best friend. My Ex was livid, of course. Ha Ha. I could have used that to the hilt. It was sad to me to watch SM try to have a relationship with our children, and my Ex and now also her Ex also tried to stop that relationship with everything in his being. I was now the one who held all the power. I could have blown her out of the water. And you know what, many people told me here is the biatch who stole your husband pay her back. It was actually one of my daughters' friends who said to me, SM is really trying hard here, give her some slack. That statement made me think. And the friend was right. It did make sense. There was no reason why I should stand in the way of a relationship simply because my Ex moved on, or was forced to move on. I have been married to my second husband for 15 years now, a marriage that I think will go on until we die. My EX is now into his third marriage, and now what I say to my girls is this. Your dad's new wife is in fact your stepmother, but it isn't the same this time for you. They are 20 now. And yes first SM, and her mom and her dad and her sisters and all their children have special times with "my" kids, and none of them wanted to say goodbye. I say you are all more than welcome because that is what my girls want. Is it hard? You bet you it is hard. It is likely the hardest thing I have ever done in my life. But when you have kids it isn't about you anymore is it....See MoreL Shades
Comments (57)You can now listen to this piece of cr*p as an audio. A link below to a report from the Telegraph. A message for Kath: after reading one of your posts above, the computer, with a strange smell of burning rubber and scorched leather gave up the ghost and froze. My son is even now de-gaussing it. In the meantime we are having to use the lap-top which is not happy with this RP site and requires me to sign in everytime I go online. Kath, I notice you haven't been at RP since your posting here and wonder if the L Shades was an erotic experience too far and the men in white coats have taken you away to a darkened room.

Comments (19)Regarding the Sawtooth oaks: About 10 years ago we had to travel to Virginia and on the way back we stopped at one of those rest areas on the highway in New Jersey and there was this giant, beautifully shaped Sawtooth oak, ( I didn't know what they were at the time) but there were hundreds of these gorgeous large acorns all over the ground. So like the plant person I am, I (my husband thought I was crazy), I picked up as many as I could throw in my purse and brought them home. I planted about 10 of them in styrofoam cups and had them in my windows and I gave another dozen or so away to a few interested people we knew. Unfortunately, at that time we had a few mice living in our house and during the night they were carefully digging up and eating all my acorns! It wasn't until several weeks later when one of the guys I gave some seeds to said that his had sprouted that I looked more closely into the cups and mine were all gone!! There is a lovely tree growing on Martha's Vineyard, complements of me and every time I see this fellow he remarks on how beautifully the tree is growing!! Just a silly story, I know......See MoreTellerRed
