Let me take the poop off your hands!

by | Apr 6, 2011 | Red Wiggler World

 

Spring is the time when I begin to think about my raised flower and vegetable beds, potted plants, budding trees, poking perennials and, OF COURSE, harvesting my valuable, super rich red wiggler castings.  My Red Wigglers have been munching and pooping for months and are ready to move into some comfy, fresh bedding.

I am ready to get my hands dirty – are you? If you’re a vermicomposter in Bend and prefer keeping your hands worm poop free, but still want to reap the rewards of your red wigglers, I’ve got a solution for you! At the request of several local vermicomposters, I will now be providing a Spring “cleaning” service to make sure your worms are good to go for the upcoming growing season. Presenting:

Red Wigglers + Alpaca Poop = Pure Bliss

by | Apr 2, 2011 | Red Wiggler World

4 months ago I introduced some Red Wigglers to Alpaca poop, and they are getting along pretty well! The wigglers are making themselves at home and are comfortable enough to get busy. They are mating and making more happy and healthy cute little wigglers in the muck. The proof is in the picture.  It kind of looks like a deformed Red Wiggler, but it’s actually two wigglers together.  I didn’t want to keep them uncovered too long. So I quickly took this shot, then covered them back with a nice squishy layer of poopy.

I am happy to report these wigglers are doing well and have not perished like the ones that were in the bunny poop!

 

 

Go organic as much as possible

by | Mar 26, 2011 | Resources

There are many articles written about organic foods and clothing.  They all stress the importance of choosing organic products and the risk involved if you don’t.  Pesticides, hormones and antibiotics rank the highest in nonorganic products.

Today I read an article on health.com, and I’d like to share it with you.  In summary, the article lists 11 items that should be organic.  Celery surprised me.  I knew strawberries, milk and beef are important but didn’t think celery would be high on the list.

Read here to see the full list.
