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 -
The other marker of the turning of the seasons is the #wormfarm has been evicted from the conservatory.
We really neglect the poor blighters, but they seem to hang on in there. We have had this for a few years now, still with its original worms. (Well, their descendants I presume.) I have popped some veg waste, shredded card, and coffee grounds in the empty middle layer and shifted the bottom tray at the top and left it open to encourage the worms to migrate downwards.
I also collected the worm wee in a big screw top tub.
We should make better use of their wormy efforts really.
Next job was mopping the clearish 2/3 of the conservatory including the tragic job of soaking the dried corpses of escapee worms off the lino. 😢

“I’ve wanted a worm farm for about a year since I started growing my own and composting. My housemate’s colleague had one that he didn’t use any more and kindly gave it to me, along with the rest of the food, bedding and other bits he had for it - all I had to do was supply the worms!”
A great example of #kindness to people and planet from our social media manager, @alexisbushnell, absolutely wonderful.

This morning I brought the worm farm inside for the summer. I also gave them pieces of paper that I had soaked overnight in water to bring up the moisture content in the worm farm. Yesterday we fed them small pieces of water melon peel which should also help re-hydrate them.
It is going to be 42 degrees tomorrow. This looks like it is going to be a very hot summer.

Did someone say "Compost"?
If anyone is interested. This is Australian Eastern Standard Time.
Do share if you think anyone in your extended networks may also be interested

Went to check on my worm farm since it's a hot, muggy day (temps around 33C according to the app). Some of the worms had moved to the lower (empty tray), possibly to escape the heat (according to my googling). So i put them back and added a large ice block to 1 corner of the tray which i hope will help.

@hannu_ikonen check out bokashi bins, I believe that'd be the most indoor friendly way of #composting - bonus points for being able to use it for citrus, onion, and garlic peel as well as coffee grounds. We placed ours under the kitchen sink, and use two rotating bins, then cycle it though a #vermicompost #wormfarm with added #charcoal to inoculate the #carbon structure with #microorganisms and make #biochar. This should be installed outside though, or at least in a garage type of space. With its small footprint, even a balcony space works well. It may take some time to get a feel for what works best for your situation, all part of the journey 🪱♻️ The quality and potency of the #wormtea and solids is amazing - your plants will 💚 it!

We save eggshells and grind them into powder to go into the #allotment #compost heap and #homegarden #wormfarm. When thoroughly dry they grind easily to a powder in a normal spice grinder.
I've heard for years eggshell is good for worms. But then see people putting large chunks of eggshell into their compost? How big are their worms?! Do they have teeth??!! And then there are always just big chunks of eggshell out the other side.
So we started grinding ours in the hope that is more useful.
