I started my first years ago, mainly in order to dispose of the detritus from the guinea pigs! Now almost everything goes into it and then into the garden. I love my worms!<BR/><BR/>I put a really old pair of flannel jammies into the worm farm a few months ago, and last weekend pulled out a handful of piping, overlocked threads and elastic, that was all that was left! There's currently the top part of a pair of my hubbies old jeans in there, although I don't expect to see too much of them next time I look!Melindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17329997752606696894noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5089828552519076506.post-16055722553456950602008-08-05T17:05:00.000+10:002008-08-05T17:05:00.000+10:00A couple of years ago I was given a storebought wo...A couple of years ago I was given a storebought worm farm, it's not too bad to use but I prefer a homemade one I had few years back.

They really work wonderfully. I haven't tried a bathtub style because of the lack of a suitable home for the tub which wouldn't be too cold or too hot.

Yesterday I learned about bandicooting. Tonight I put my new skill into practice. I have been growing my potatoes in pots then as I have harvested a plant, refilled the pot and planting winter broccoli. Tonight I just poked around the top of one of my remaining pots and pulled out six small spuds, just enough for tea. Well done.<BR/>Cheers, Eileen.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5089828552519076506.post-5028104460000849042008-08-05T08:40:00.000+10:002008-08-05T08:40:00.000+10:00sharon, what are you adding to the worm farm?

It should feel moist to the touch, but never drip water. Are you adding a lot of wet waste? I think the solution will be to add shredded newspaper, but tell me what you're adding first and we'll work something out. Maybe you can help too, Kathie?rhonda jeanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08962112306968959985noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5089828552519076506.post-70694952506318730362008-08-05T08:22:00.000+10:002008-08-05T08:22:00.000+10:00I've been vermicomposting for a few years, even te...I've been vermicomposting for a few years, even teach a class on it locally and I just love the little creatures!

I've put wood shavings in, hoping they would help, but now they're soaked right through. I can't see how rain would be getting in so I'm at a loss as to what's causing this. I don't suppose you have any ideas?Sharon Jhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09050104785278502068noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5089828552519076506.post-60945782986104657402008-08-05T06:38:00.000+10:002008-08-05T06:38:00.000+10:00Thanks for this Rhonda, I have needed a bit of a p...Thanks for this Rhonda, I have needed a bit of a prod to go check on our worms.
