Question on bin set up and Freezer paper
Comments (7)Well, you've already heard about freezer paper and meat wrapping paper, so, won't waste time on that. Cardboard, eh, I tend to stick with shredded paper, like business letters, or, photocopy paper, less ink, per page, and its easy to obtain. Beside having our own paper shredder, my wife could bring home bunches of it from her work. best of all no cost, and it seemed to appeal to my worm's, so, why re-invent the wheel, so to speak........ Tempertures, max, for me was 75 degrees, over 85 degrees they will crawl out of the compost mix, for cooling. Below 50 degrees, they stopped moving around much, and would retreat to the center, of the mix (compost), thus a range of 65-75, seemed to work the best for me. Best rule of thumb, the compost temperture will be 10-15 degrees higher, than the surrounding temperture. I was three years, into the indoor worm bins, before that, I consentrated on building my earthworm count, outside. Coffee grounds, along with the filter paper, seems to be OK. Tea bags, were less of a success. Egg shells, unless well crushed, didn't go over very well, either. Citrus, tomato scraps, onions, peppers, and such, weren't well accepted, at least by my guy's. Breads, contain yeast, and gets quite hot, during the breakdown period, plus some molding going on, as well. Spritzing the top every other day, with water, is good. But, even some tap water, is too hard, or smelly, sulfer content is too high. Rain water, is just fine, its for the most part, soft water, and its free. If, you live right next to a coal fired electric plant, then you might avoid that too. Sounds rather picky, but, getting a good grade of worm castings, is the goal, and that only happens, when the worm's are happy, and productive. No meat products, is another good rule, or, animal manure, unless you don't mind smell. Basic rules are simple, good air flow, controled amounts of water, and fair temperatures. I always stayed with a mixture of greens, coffe grounds, shredded paper, and then, leave them alone, as much as possible. Depending on how much you want to produce, 2 lbs of worm's, would be the minimum, to start. Avoid over expectations, after 45-60 days, my 2 lbs of worms, were just really getting going, its not a quick process. Rule of thumb, is a doubling of worm population, every six months. My 2 lbs of worm's, were barely eating a half, to three quarters of a pound of food a day, and this is assuming everything is at optimum levels, right food, right temps, and moisture content. You will, most likely make a mistake, or two, I think everyone does, at some point. After last year, being so ill, I said goodbye to them and had my son release my bin worm's, outside into my raised garden beds. No-sense everyone suffering. I couldn't walk without falling on my butt, spent most of my time indoors, in bed, or, in my chair. Last year, was my "lost summer" year, my room was my domain, and the air conditioner, my best friend. Crutches aren't worth a crap, for getting around. Yes, some improvement now, but, it remains to be seen what this year will bring. Hope I haven't made too many spelling, or, typo's here, my eyebulbs are burning out, as well. Well, good luck on your adventure, I hope you do well....See MoreProduce Bins on KA CD Bottom Freezer - Tiny
Comments (0)I was all set on getting the 36" KA FD bottom freezer when I actually saw one and couldn't believe how small the produce bins were. We store lots of fruits and vegetables so a large produce bin is important. The only 36" CD wide one I saw that had large produce bins was the built-in GE Monogram 36" bottom-freezer which had the produce bins on the bottom, increasing the amount of depth available. Can anyone recommend a 36" CD refrigerator with large produce bins? Thanks....See MoreBottom Freezers...Do You Have a 2nd Fridge or Freezer?
Comments (28)"I don't understand the french door thing. Why have to open two doors? It has an application in kitchens with small aisles, I guess, but I dunno - I'd rather have the aisle spaced correctly. The ones with the big trays across the bottom are the worst to me." LOL - side by side fridges are basically French Door fridges - it's just the freezer is one side and the fridge is another - get an old school fridge with the freezer on top or bottom with one door the entire width of the fridge and I don't care how big your kitchen is, you will be desiring side by side or french door for the half-width doors. Also, if you prefer a side by side, why would you have to open both doors on a french door fridge? Your already used to accessing the fridge through a narrow door anyway :o) The side by side fridge I have came with my house - otherwise I would never own one. You can't put in odd-ball sized stuff, and normal stuff doesn't even fit well. It has allot less drawer space than the Samsung freezer on the bottom I had in my town house, and my Samsung was the smaller 18 cubic foot and my side by side is 25.5! To me, a side by side is like a 1500 square foot two story house vs. a 1500 square foot ranch. Theoretically they are the same square footage, but in the two story you loose space to stairs and hallways - not nearly as much actual usual space. I too have an extra chest freezer, but as others stated I would have one anyway. I have a foodsaver and I'm not afraid to use it. I buy things in bulk, on sale, and freeze them routinely. I wish I could find a fridge with a single height freezer drawer for quick access to the stuff I use regularly and the rest dedicated to fridge space. That would be ideal. Indeed, if I ever remodel my kitchen I'm seriously considering putting a fridge only in where my side by side is and a single freezer drawer (if they make such a thing? Surely someone does) in my island. I'd gladly sacrifice a little cabinet space for some more fridge space. I guess if you don't cook at home often, or eat that many fresh fruits or vegetables it's less important, but I never seem to have enough fridge space....See MoreWire basket bins in fridge's freezer vs the usual plastic bin
Comments (18)Ahhh..sorry to hear that. Any option to upgrade to SS? Or maybe a different brand?. This s##t drives me crazy . Honest. I feel for the designers who came up with the wire bins and know they are the way to go. Then some mucky- muck higher up cheaped out on the manufacture. Which of course inspired the general public to now become cynical on all new and interesting products. Welcome to my world. Lucky for my customers I was both the designer and manufacturer. Not boasting just saying there are many small manufacturers on Houzz like myself , Rachelle?Sinks , Havens Metals and others who just don't play those games...See More- 9 years ago
