How do I know if I actually have worm castings?
Comments (1)I think worm castings look a bit like chopped cigarette tobacco. If your bin is white or if you have ever kept worms in a light color container with a cover for a couple of days the sides of the container above the food level will have 1/4 inch castings on them. You should be able to see individual ones. Even when harvested you should be able to see the individual ones depending upon what harvesting method you use. Coffee grounds would be maybe rounder? It all depends upon how close one wants to look. I know one thing. However good your vermicompost is this week, if you stop feeding for a week and let the worms work just on what you plan to harvest, you will like it even better in a few more weeks. When I am in a rush for compost I put some in an old plastic easter basket with good sized holes in it and shake the material. What falls out is my harvest. What stays in is put back on top of the bin. I almost think this partially processed material is very good for the health of the bin. It balances out the excesses in all directions, too wet, to dry, to acidic, of new additions. Good luck, hope you have some already....See MoreI know I know but what do you all think?

Comments (3)Sometimes even experts have a hard time 'seeing' the difference between red oak and white oak. The only SURE FIRE way to know is to send a sample of your floor to a lab that does the testing for wood species. The test is about $100 and will prevent TENS OF THOUSANDS of dollars of heartache. If you are getting mixed responses, I HIGHLY recommend you get a small sample cut and shipped to one of those labs. You will be VERY glad you did....See MoreDo I have red or white oak floors?
Comments (0)This seems to be a common question. Because my floors are so dark I'm not quite sure which are the medullary rays and having a hard time telling. Floors are probably circa 1908. Since my house is under remodel I don't have access for great pictures but here is a smattering I was able to find from various other purposes: Google photo album Thanks! Trying to match in addition but not sure which it is! Attached a few below in case you don't want to click the link....See Moredisco_lemonade
