I empty the third bin into a large tupperware type container. As the top layer of the castings dries the worms move down and I take off several inches a day. I mound up and loosen the castings during this process. To speed-up things up I sometimes put a shop light over the bin and, as you all know, the little critters don't like light. I will try the mesh bag method. I use a lot of worm tea but am never sure what proportion to use with water. -Lydia Allen --__--__-- Message: 2 From: "Jon Rowley" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Date: Fri, 17 Jan 2003 11:59:56 -0800 boundary="----=_NextPart_000_0032_01C2BE1F.F3FB6E00" Subject: [cg] worms This is a multi-part message in MIME format. ------=_NextPart_000_0032_01C2BE1F.F3FB6E00 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Can anyone tell me what is the best way to harvest the castings from = worms.

Because we collect all the fruit skins, etc., for our small company, the biggest problem is usually having too much feed material. And I got a little tired of harvesting because of the wait period to let light drive the worms down. I think also that wood boxes which are used too long as worm bins may end up harboring diseases because there seemed to be fewer and fewer worms each year a given box was used. Then one day, a friend offered me some sturdy stainless steel wire mesh on a 3/8 inch grid. A light bulb went off. I welded up a stainless framework which is 2 feet wide by 3 feet long and about 18 inches high, and welded the SS mesh into the frame. A simple, unpainted plywood lid graces the top of my `worm cage'. The cage is buried in my garden with the lid at ground level. About 2/3 of it is used to dump in the feed. After a few weeks I scrap off the top of that into the remaining 1/3, and scoop out all the composted material, worms and all, distributing it around the garden. It does take up some garden space, but it seems to break down the food quicker, and since the worms are free to come and go from their `cage', it may be more disease resistant than a self-contained worm box. The cage can be moved periodically, of course. There are probably some plastic mattes or maybe boxes that would work just as well. You just need a grid small enough to keep out the rodents and a framework sturdy enough to hold the walls upright. Now, does anyone know how I can radio tag worms? I'd like to know how far away I can dump them and have them migrate back to the worm cage. It would also be interesting how far from the cage the worms migrate and what type of food attracts or repels them. Better yet, does anyone have a source of money which can be used to study these earthy issues? Long live the worms! -- Sincerely, David Smead http://www.amplepower.com On Fri, 17 Jan 2003, Honigman, Adam wrote: > >From middle aged gardener guy's perspective, what's better than a NYC garden > full of worms?
