    Yep, if you don't have a worm bin or two, you are missing out. Worms are very efficient converters of waste to worm mass. The castings are the best soil you can get for conventional gardening, and the liquid that comes out "worm tea" works wonders on just about any house plant.

    I have 3 bins in the corner of my basement. Very little work, and you'd never know it was there. No smell, no noise. I'll be soliciting garbage soon.

    Worms need to be front and center once again and I love to see peeps involved
    with any thing to do with them. They are the most effient composters on planet
    earth hands down.

    Brad Morgan is a friend of ours and wow talk about diving in! He had a diary farm and got
    out of it. Now he has a composting biz and makes a great living! He is now in the worm
    developing business PLUS they sell the verimicompost as an organic grow material.

    Check out pics of compost biz http://www.dairydoo.com/MorganCompostAlbum/index.html
    and youtube video of his worm biz http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U27Aizi64Wg

    Worms....aquaponics and worms is all we need .....well almost

    Another try at finding the stripped wigglers today we got tall boots on and crawled into horse stables out by the barn at low side (wet crap) and omg the reds were so thick we were giggling about it. Yes it's a mess but the worms were burgundy red and talk about spunky! Making another separate bin for these babies because they are not same as the ones I got out of the compost bin outside here at home, these worms came from the farm and are the real honest to goodness poop worms!

    Last night I heard a sound stuck my head in the bin in the shop and lo and behold I was hearing worms feeding I am not kidding they really do make some racket.

    I am definitely going to move into this arena after I get my system established. This just makes sense!

    I said "look wife that robin is after worms"
    She said "good why don't you send them to your shop then"

    I am trying to build this unit...it needs a cable pull through or hydraulic bar that can slide at the base of the material. I know the BIG ones use hydraulics.
