Using dried tea bags
Comments (23)Morgan_3, oh absolutely, it's why in my first post on the thread I liked the idea of lots of teabags, just not by themselves. Pure cardboard and paper not only has little food value, it's also hard to keep moist unless you've got a ton of it (depending on your system also, bins would be much easier). Teabags would work great keeping things moist and providing nice slow starter food for a new system. And yep, did the poking around with my worms when I first started. Only way to get a feel of how the food breaks down and how the worms respond. Otis 11, I think most of the carbon talk is for regular hot composting. Then you want your ratios to get the proper heat or you don't get good compost. For VC, our carbon is more useful for holding water and keeping things aerated which is why the form (cardboard vs tree leaves) gets mentioned more than the amount or ratio. Leaves not being considered good bedding because they don't hold water etc. "They don't mind laying amongst the rotting food as long as there's oxygen available" That can be a big if, if don't have anything to bulk it up (and certain doesn't go for citrus until well well rotted). So to me, that's bedding killing two birds with one stone. Makes sure your rotting food has oxygen, and give them a backup place to live if things go off. Bedding is one of the ways to avoid having to worry about feeding questions, and tossing more cardboard in regardless is much easier imo than working out how much and/or what to feed. With lots of bedding, I just toss in whatever. It's one of those 'can't go wrong' things....See MoreDoes Anyone Know the Source of this Bedding?
Comments (9)Oh, well, at least we tried. Thanks for letting me know the outcome. Most bedding, like clothing, cycles through the marketplace pretty quickly. Some might end up on a sale site or eBay, but you might have to search for a long time. Your friend may have to replace the whole set or find a coordinating duvet cover for her shams....See MoreSource for Toile bedding
Comments (4)Do you have a TJMaxx nearby? Or a Marshall's? They sometimes have toile bedding pieces. JCPenney has a toile quilt for $60 in twin. It is a floral toile rather than a scenic toile. It comes in black, blue and red. Or try ebay. I searched for "twin toile" and got tons of hits. Here is a link that might be useful: JCP toile quilt...See MoreYour favorite sources for bedding?
Comments (9)Pottery Barn and Overstock. I have ordered a few quilts from Overstock and have been happy. Of course, I'm ok with mass-produced bedding that will stand up to frequent washings (dogs and toddlers). Below are a few options. They have a ton of choices. http://www.overstock.com/Bedding-Bath/Laura-Ashley-Carlisle-Mist-Reversible-Cotton-3-piece-Quilt-Set/9064412/product.html http://www.overstock.com/Bedding-Bath/Moroccan-Paisley-Cotton-3-piece-Quilt-Set/8777703/product.html?refccid=4UNOJB7UOC2K772AEHRKSVBE2Q&searchidx=52 http://www.overstock.com/Bedding-Bath/Rainforest-Garden-3-Piece-Quilt-Set/6965071/product.html...See MoreFeathers11
