What should I expect from my Endless Summer? And I need tips too
Comments (12)Hi Oakley - Several experts, have already chimed in & posted reassurances & advices, that I have learned & still learning from, in over the few years I have been reading & inquiring, in this truly great forums. Since you wish to know as well, what you might expect from your newly planted ES over the years. I planted 2 (2-gal) pots in '06, moved 3 times before presenting themselves as rewarding as the pics I'm posting. In my zone, like Alisande's ES & gg148's clarifications, my ES can be influenced dramatically by what 'Ma Nature' doles us. This past Winter was one of our worst one, killing even very established trees & shrubs ... Spring was absolutely crazy, 2 wks of heavy rains followed immediately by 2 weeks of sun/steamy heat of 100s (enough to steam cook many barely lushing/blooming perennials)! That said, both ES still budded & blossoms were huge, but significantly less than, what you'll see in the link. To date, a few more cluster buds are showing! However both bushes have grown tremendously, despite dying to the ground ... like Alisande's - not protected in Winter any longer, as they are now older (I did in their first season-using cardboard method). Best wishes to you & welcome to our fold!!! Â;) Here is a link that might be useful: 2 ESs in 2008...See MoreHow many eggshells are too many eggshells?
Comments (8)Hooray... I'd like to start with how you assembled your bin. IMHO, the best investment you can ever make is in a decent paper shredder. Instead of layering your bin with paper bags, you could be using shredded paper bags, or better yet, shredded cardboard. My first (5-sheet) shredder finally bit the dust after more than two years of intensive work shredding cardboard. My new (12-sheet) is making short work of stuff that the last one struggled over. What I do with eggshells is this: After saving them up for a month or so, I put them into a large aluminum foil pan in the bottom of the oven (after whatever was in there comes out and the oven is still hot). This dries them out really well. Next, I powder them in a blender and then the powder goes into a shaker can. The worms get a liberal dose of this 'grit' whenever I feed. The powder seems to disappear, almost overnight. Shaul...See MoreHow many egg shells to add?
Comments (6)we add egg shells regularly. It is especially good to give a good sprinkle of them to a freshly set up bin with bran new bedding. It gives them the grit to help break down their food. Anyway, we let the shells dry out and then use an old coffee grinder to powder them. A sprinkle in the worm food can before taking it out to the worm bin is good. I will sometimes keep a container of the powdered egg shells by the bin to sprinkle over the surface when I add new bedding. As many egg shells as you family can go though is probably quite safe and appropriate. If you have an outside sources for large amounts of egg shell, that could be too much and probably better spread around the garden or compost bin.

Comments (10)Lisa and Cathy, Thanks for your encouragement. This year, the nest box is where I don't have but a few steps to run down should I have to :) Plus, I've had my knee replaced since last summer so I'm doing steps MUCH better. But the bottom line is THERE WILL BE NO HOUSE WRENS! I put a sign up where they can see it so I expect it'll work...I WISH! So far so good. I have two babies who are growing fast. And they are tough kids so there's nothing could stop them!! Bluebird blessings, Linda......See More- 8 years agolast modified: 8 years ago
