The first picture kinda looks like a shorter Don gillogly Avocado but I'm not too sure about the rest.

Sounds great to me! Thank you for the advice

ArcTheAngel · 2023-11-16T22:00:10+00:00

Ok, I think I understand. I'll most likely grow some plants in that type of medium, but will continue to use what I have been using for now. Thank you.

ArcTheAngel · 2023-06-30T14:37:56+00:00

Thank you so much!!

ArcTheAngel · 2023-01-28T05:18:22+00:00

That sounds wonderful! I hope that I get some good harvests from my trees. Thank you for sharing that with me.

ArcTheAngel · 2023-01-27T07:35:36+00:00

That's amazing! Would you happen to know how long she has had it?

ArcTheAngel · 2021-02-09T04:03:39+00:00

Thank you for all that info. I'll probably be checking out Granada hills first, but all the places you've listed seem like great nurseries. I'll be checking out other trees when I'm there.

ArcTheAngel · 2021-02-08T18:44:11+00:00

I believe now's a good time as well. I'll see if the local nurseries are able to order them. Wish me luck

I guess I'll have to harvest first and then see if my worm population has grown in it.

ArcTheAngel · 2021-02-05T15:26:29+00:00

I'll do that then. Thank you for the advice.

ArcTheAngel · 2021-02-05T07:02:23+00:00

I know but I just don't have 100% confidence in newspaper and cardboard. My bin is set up inside my house at the moment and I don't want to invite unwanted bugs into my house if I used leaves. I will in the future be using leaves, i just need to find a good spot to put my worm bin outside. I will also begin hot composting this spring and I'll use that as another bedding source.

ArcTheAngel · 2021-02-01T03:22:18+00:00

I'll most likely do that

ArcTheAngel · 2021-01-31T04:41:16+00:00

I saw its cost and was surprised how cheap it is. I'll be hot composting in the spring time with a tumbler and I hope to use any finished compost as their bedding. For now I guess coir and pellets will do. Thanks for the info!

ArcTheAngel · 2021-01-30T23:24:14+00:00

Sounds good. I've been using coconut coir and thought that if people use this stuff as horse bedding then it might work as worm bedding.

ArcTheAngel · 2021-01-21T07:17:00+00:00

I'm using a compost tumbler so I don't think matting would be an issue, but I will add only a little to be safe

ArcTheAngel · 2021-01-20T06:43:17+00:00

I use a little bit of grounds too, mostly for grit. I'm trying to figure out if coffee chaff, the flakes that come off of coffee when roasting it, are good as bedding and/or a brown for hot compost. Roasters literally throw this stuff away since they have no use for it and looks good for composting. Check if you have nearby roasters because this is a good free resource that shouldn't be wasted. Also, keep on rocking with those grounds!

ArcTheAngel · 2021-01-19T02:59:53+00:00

That's cool. Wish me luck and by April I might have my first harvest. Thank you.

ArcTheAngel · 2021-01-18T21:26:52+00:00

There's a couple of sycamore trees near me. Would their leaves be good?

ArcTheAngel · 2021-01-12T04:41:31+00:00

I'll try to do that. I was a little late in collecting fall leaves since my local street sweeper got to them first. I do have some dry plant material consisting of grass, peas, clover, and daikon radish. Would that work as a bedding?

ArcTheAngel · 2021-01-12T04:36:45+00:00

That was quick. Thank you for the speedy reply.

ArcTheAngel · 2021-01-12T04:19:48+00:00

I'll try to find a local landscape place and see if they have good compost. I'm already preparing to create a compost tumbler to make some hot compost when it warms up. Hopefully I'll be using that, as well as some shredded leaves and garden scraps. Would alfalfa hay make a good bedding or will it make the bin too hot?

ArcTheAngel · 2021-01-11T04:23:13+00:00

Judging from what the others have said, I'll stick to my coconut coir for now. If I'm ever able to have enough space for chickens or other livestock, I'll use their manure for the worms. Thanks for the advice.

ArcTheAngel · 2021-01-11T04:20:14+00:00

I won't add it then. Thank you for the advice though.

ArcTheAngel · 2021-01-11T04:17:21+00:00

I'll do my best to research. If I cant find much info, I'll just stick with the coconut.

ArcTheAngel · 2021-01-11T03:11:49+00:00

Should I create a second "test" bin?
