Comments (15)OMB - mounting is growing the plant on something - usually a piece of wood instead of in pots. And usually hung vertically. I use cedar shingles myself, but most hard woods work well. Then I tie down some moss, take cuttings and attach to the wood. The plant will root directly attaching itself to the wood, like as if it was growing up a tree. Eventually the plant will grow off the wood, and hanging, kind of look like a wall of plant. Does that make sense? I know I started a thread here on some plants I was experimenting with in the beginning of the year. I'll try and find the thread that showed pictures.

Comments (35)barbararose21101 I'm glad you came back to the thread solve our confusion. The stuff that comes out the back end of the worm has more microbes than what the worm eats. Worms eat microbes. Magically microbes are added as the material moves through the worm. The worms seem pretty happy in castings. Maybe they even re-eat the castings. "Am I washing enough poop out to make the stuff safe for reuse ?" "I can ask the same question differently: What is the best use for what is left after the castings have been washed out as tea ?" Now we are running on all four cylinders and have some traction. Worm tea is made by brewing vermicastings in water with air bubbles. The spent castings are filled with microbes commonly are tossed on top of the worm bin. This helps seed new food with microbes. Alternately a favorite plant can be mulched with the spent castings. Usually the word castings is reserved for a level of quality that contains 100% or nearly as close to it as anybody can tell of only castings. The word vermicompost is used for castings that still have food or bedding in it. I harvest at the vermicompost level. Many sieve the material tossing the larger pieces back into the bin. Some say the only way to get to 100% vermicastings is to stop feeding and let the worms die in the material. Some people use sieves to quite a fine level. If the tiny newspaper is not what you want I have heard of one and now maybe two vermicomposters who harvest by water method. It seems to have worked well for them for many years. I'm sure they would enjoy someone else using the same methods for company. "leachate/tea" is a can of worms. leachate is not tea. Usually it is rotting liquid filled with some things worms do not want near them. The water harvesting method could be called a leachate/tea harvesting method where it is not rot but water harvesting of microbes and minerals. Usually leachate, dripping food waste, is not desirable. "If I purposely pour too much water through the Worm Inn, and it flows out, what will you call that ?" When I do it I call it stuff I collect and dump back on top of the bin in an hour or a week. I do not think it is worm tea or a harvesting method because there is still food decomposition going on. If no food was put into the worm inn for 3 months and 5 gallons of water was poured through 6 times then it could be a harvesting method. All worm tea needs to be used promptly. It can not be put into a bottle and sold. Well it could but it would not be the same alive product. It has been determined that adding molasses when brewing worm tea can increase e-coli. Not that I would not add it. "I am wondering why any leachate couldn't be treated as tea (sugar & air) and used as tea." Maybe it could. Even without the sugar. I bet someone here knows more about the eithers and alcohols that would make this not a good idea. I just took a stab at some......See Morerecommendation-moisture barrier for slab
Comments (6)We used a polyurethane-type waterproofing under a glued-down BR-111 (tigerwood) floor in a below-grade (basement) slab. It was WP'er, then mastic, both were specific to the conditions. The floor has been fine for 2 years, going on 3. Neither of the products were low VOC, I'll tell you. Lots of brain cells were sacrificed. The aroma was very transitory, though. I think VOC's will be part of the formula for a product to accomplish this task successfully. Casey...See Morealex9179
