"I love my big green compost bin it was a good score from an elderly lady I used to work for. I came with her place when she moved down the hill. I hear that the people who used to live there were great gardeners. She was too old and sick to get out…"

"I've been using a screen that fits my wheelbarrow for years but I hate cutting worms up. I can't believe how many worms I have in that compost bin this year. Guess I can give that a try if I remember to take a pile out when I'm out…"

"Vicky .. easiest way I've found is the standard method of making several small piles of the compost and worm out in the sun and every 5 minutes or so, take compost off the top of the pile as the worms go down into the pile.  Works very…"

Vicky Myers commented on Marianne Barrowman's group Composting & Vermicomposting (worms)
"Idea just popped into my head. That would probably be an easier way to sift out my worms this year since I have more worms than compost right now. Do what you said scoop up a clump, dump in water then pour thru a sifter instead of just rubbing the…"

"Heather you will be way better off with the tote with holes than an aquarium. Were you using the aquarium so they could see what was happening? I used an old ice chest but didn't get the drainage right or something to keep the peat and bedding…"

Bonnie Kaake (Z5 CO) commented on Marianne Barrowman's group Composting & Vermicomposting (worms)
"Heather, "lecate" is the liquid that drains from the bottom of the worm bin. It should be drained regularly so the worms do not drown in the bottom. I mix this in a watering can with water and water my trees and other plants with it. There…"
