Hi Rob - what a great tutorial on making worm compost. Great organization of your work area.

Rob, I love the idea of composting. I'd really like to make it a reality. Do you use the compost for soil or mulch?

Looks like you've been busy. Like your friends in the last shot. Do they do a lot of damage? They sometimes cut through our yard heading to the river but I guess they don't like what we have to eat.
ReplyDeleteLove those deer! I bet you have wonderful soil. I have not had a composte bin. At times I think it would be nice, but not sure where it would fit in our yard. Thanks for sharing with Share Your Cup Thursday.

Hi Rob!
ReplyDeleteThose are some big fat worms... wonderful friends to have in the garden, better than the deer. I bet the deer don't come around during hunting season. My DD and SIL get a deer every few years with bows. They live right below Mt. Rainier but they go down closer to Mt. Saint Helens.
Thanks for sharing this at my party this week!

Hi there
ReplyDeleteI seen you over on Joy's blog savvy city farmer
i garden but don't compost , only use my mulch year after year if it doesn't rot away

Hello Rob! I am inspired - I know that your garden plants will flourish with the wonderful castings! Great photo catching the deer! They occasionally visit our garden - fortunately they love my husband's grass and don't venture to my flowers!
ReplyDeleteI appreciate you sharing with Home and Garden Thursday,
Kathy
I have been wanting one of these for a while. I used to have one rather large and we did away with it years ago. I discovered one night I was feeding the neighborhood rodents...and I stopped!! I would like to have one with a cover. Happy VTT
ReplyDeleteHi Rob,
ReplyDeleteI made a worm composting bin with my two oldest boys when they were 5 and under. I was surprised how fast the worms did their job. But, of all of the garden fertilizers I have tried nothing beat the chicken coop dirt we got from my husband's Aunts. What an amazing garden we had that year. The pictures still blow me away. Great job with the worm composting. Thank you for joining me at The Charm of Home.

Looks like quite the project! i admire you for taking the time to do it right!
ReplyDeleteI host a garden party that starts up again next Thursday (May 3rd) would love to see you link up sometime? xoox, tracie
Hi Rob, What a project, but well worth it. We have a compost bin which works great on our garden. But haven't done a worm compost. Next project... Thanks for sharing on Simple & Sweet Fridays. I'm a New Follower too!

Wish I had those worm castings for my garden beds--lucky you! I grew up on an island--Orcas Island in the San Juans! But I'm a land-lubber now!
