Comments (8)sbryce is a kind, polite, gentleman. Others would not of been so cultured in word choice. Uncle Jim might also sell under different names you may also be wary of as many buyers have wondered into this site burned to the color of suntan mom. Take some time while the bedding and some starter feed is maturing to shop around. You had worms before. What happened to them? If you gave them away maybe they have some to share. If you have a compost heap time to buy a watermellon. In a couple of weeks you may have the worms vieing for your bin. If purchasing online I would look for a company that uses the latin name for each type of worm it sells. It should also show a picture of a single worm with the name. It should give both a weight of the worms and a weight of the worms and bedding you will recieve. It should give an aproximate count of the worms. It should say if they are all adult or a mix. Give preference to someone near you. Maybe they set up at at farmers market? Then you can drive them straight home. With 10000 worms you could purchase 1000 from ten different places and make one great Youtube. You would be famous! It would be like a science project. Order them all in the same hour. Do an excel sheet with price. When they arrive weigh the package, then seperate the worms and give the true weight. Sort of like Consumer Reports for worms! Then by all means order some from Uncle Jims and a next of kin to include in the results. If it has improved it has to be from people finally knowing what it is a pound of worms should look like. Oh, and since worms dehydrate maybe put each pound into a pound of wet bedding for 24 hours and then reweigh so as to not gyp for worms packed a bit dry but healthy. Compare a pound dug from your own compost heap. A pound from a nearby friend. etc. I would also look for tip offs of circus type sales tactics. Yes worms do great things. Maybe use your worm purchase as a chance to visit 5 worm farms in your area. E-mail and give it a try. You mentioned wanting to write. A topic would seem to be needed. Worms may crawl slow, but they can go far. I almost think worms should be like sour dough bread starter. One should be gifted it. Or capture one's own from the air. Purchasing a start somehow just does not seem right. Start saving your egg cartons and coffee trays. Have fun. Enjoy. Fourth times the charm. If wormes weary, and cease to satisfy, there is always BSFL, honey bees, mason bees, mushrooms and permaculture....See MoreBrazilian Teak Pre-finished - BR-111 vs. BellaWood
Comments (11)I happen to be someone who installed both BR111 (Timborana) and Bellawood Bloodwood and Bolivian Rosewood. The ground floor is slab so I needed engineered wood. I am super happy with both. The Timborana is much softer than both Bellawood. The Bloodwood and Rosewood are about 3X harder than Red Oak so this is not a surprise. You can literally drop anything on either of the Bellawoods and I challenge you to see any dents. The BR111 Timborana is absolutely gorgeous and looks better than mahogany. We are super careful so in spite of both floors being 16 years, they look great and I still get compliments on the Timborana. It literally looks like fine furniture wood. I would not use it if you have children and pets or you are super rough on your floors. We almost never walk in with outside shoes and as a result it has held up well and only a few deeper dents and scratches. If you are not on slab and can use 3/4" planks in the heavy traffic areas, then by all means go for the Bellawood. I think it will outlast the house by another 50 years .... it is that good. The only advise I would say, if you have a Bellawood plank that is bent significantly, do not attempt to push it into shape with the nail gun, just set it aside and use another. I am not talking about slight misshapen, rather about ones that are 1/2" because sometimes they will resist so hard, you will spend 20 minutes on one plank. Luckily there is only a tiny percentage that are not straight. Overall both are great but pick the best according to your intended use...See Morealmost finished Bella Cucina
Comments (24)A "Hole Ram" ... that's the name of the equipment. :) We finished the first terrace yesterday and my, my - are we sore this morning! I'm leaving the rest of the project in the hands of the guys as I'm off to a conference until Saturday evening. I'll post some photos on the blog then... flowerchild, I am looking forward to getting to work on the grounds. I expect that it will be a long, long, long term project, but if we can get the bones right it will make the rest fall into place much easier... we've already chosen locations for some native shade trees, italian cypress, bay laurel, and fig.... all in the fullness of time :)...See More(almost) completed bella bella quilt!
Comments (16)Thanks, all. I think I like the suggestions of a little blue in the border....Now just to figure out how! MRG~ Of course I'll try to help you if you need it. I had trouble understanding some of the instructions, and really just had to work through them one step at a time with my stuff in front of me...That helped. Don't know what the next 'challenge' will be....Will get through this, have a few unfinished little things, then we'll see....See MoreRelated Professionals
