Wurm vs. Mensch
Der Wurm ist nützlich, weil er Boden fruchtbar macht. Der Mensch ist nützlich, weil er ganze Landschaften gestalten kann – und schädlich, weil er sie oft zerstört. Der Wurm richtet selten Schaden an; der Mensch schafft ihn im industriellen Maßstab. #vermicomposting #wormfarm #wormcastings

For the most part, it works really well. This relatively small system can eat nearly all #biodegradable #trash from my two-human, two-cat household. (Yes, even the cat's kill goes in sometimes). Only when I suddenly have a lot of trash, it might not all fit in the external buffers and I might have to discard some with the general waste. The compost worms, potworms and woodlice seem very happy. I get a steady supply of high-quality #wormCastings from it. I produce so much castings that I am constantly giving them away to friends and family.

#DIY - #PeatFree! Crafting the Perfect #SeedStarting Mix for Seeds & Planting Success

"Seed Starting Mix Ingredients

- #CocoCoir - Coconut husk fiber is the main growing medium in this recipe. Pro-Tip: When purchasing coco coir, pay attention to the product's grade (or coarseness) and salt content. You do not want chipped shells or particulates in it. I recommend ultra-fine premium grade A compressed coco coir blocks that are already triple-washed to remove salt.
- Vermiculite - Vermiculite is critical in your seed starting mix. It is an expanded volcanic rock that is very porous, allowing it to hold onto water and nutrients so they don’t drain through the soil.
- Perlite - Perlite is an expanded volcanic glass used in high-quality seed starting mixes to prevent compaction and allow better drainage. There are different grades of perlite. I prefer using fine to medium perlite. Extra-fine will work, too, but you will need to add more of it.
- Water - Warm water works best and speeds up the process, but you can also use cold water if that is all you have available.
-Fertilizer - Most seed starting mixes do not contain fertilizer. Since we are making our own, we can add it right into the seed starting mix. Choose a well-balanced, slow-release fertilizer, such as Trifecta+ and/or a gentle fertilizer like #WormCastings."

#vermiculture #worms I was so excited last spring to get this #wormbin for my kitchen so I could collect #wormcastings easily and #compost my food scraps more efficiently. And benefit my #garden My friend made a similar bin with upcycled storage containers. The worms are doing well and are fond of my green tea leaves and fruity leftovers. They like coffee grounds, too!
