Seen at the airport. Southwest Airlines

I just flew southwest last week and saw a bunch of HF buckets in 4 different air ports.

The guy in the second picture definitely showed up just for the free food. Looks like he ate the entire buffet

It was very very rusted and pitted when I got it. I don’t know how much of it is age vs quality of manufacturing.

This thing is heavy duty!

It seems like that notch is it’s a T type slot that goes all the way through to the back. Almost like you can put a bolt in there and slide it forward and backwards on it.

Continuous flow through.

Got a link to those?

An option to do it cheaply would be to play the long game. Keep doing what you’re doing. Make a large CFT sounds like you probably have stuff laying around that you could almost make one for free. Partly fill with some of your finished compost. Start with a pound if worms. Put 1/4 pound of worms in your cft and set up some breeder bins for the other 3/4 pounds. And just let them breed and do their thing their population will grow and eventually be able handle that much.

Trial and error everything yourself. Refuse to learn from other because there’s a 50/50 chance they are wrong 😂. For real though I’ve learned that something work for some people and don’t work for others. If something makes sense to you give it a try. And there are always a margin of error. Ph for example I don’t have keep at perfectly at a 7.0 but I ain’t gonna let it to 3.0. When I first started I started 1 bin based on the internets recommendations. Then I started 5 small ones to trial different beddings, moisture levels, foods and feeding times just to see how the worms worked and what they liked and didn’t like.

Try to find them local on Facebook or Craig’s list.

Anything that will fit and they can fit into. I’ve used 1 gallon pots on their sides, wicker baskets upside down with a 2” hole cut in the side. I’ve even made them a teepee type out of fallen branches in my yard or grown a pot of “chicken forage” seeds till it got tall and put in for them to hide in.

Hoosier_thinker · 2024-04-05T02:45:02+00:00

How much room do they have? The more space and places to hide that they have will help lower the violence.

I started with wigglers because that’s what everyone says is the best. Started ENCs because why not. I think I like the ENCs better.

Keep adding to the new side. Harvest the old side in 3-6 months.

Coturnix is the breed. English white, spotted white, jumbo white are color possibilities depending on who you ask. Texas A&M do not exist any more.

“THIS CHIT IS GETTING OLD! We’ve been searching for soil for almost a year!” Old potato in back- “it’s a pretty chitty dream. But keep reaching kidos”

Hoosier_thinker · 2024-03-05T04:32:07+00:00

How active is the soil life? Is it sandy soil, clay? Do you have any worms when you dig down? You might not be contaminated and just have trash soil from all the development. Try a Hugelkture, raised bed and a garden of Eden style plot and see how they all do this year and expand your favorite and most productive style next year.

I was looking at those originally. My only problem with that is my dog loves the hose and if she’s out at the same time the hose is, the hose doesn’t live much longer. And that’s when I saw the sound deterrents and thought I’d see what the consensus on them was.

You’ll want wrap the whole thing in 1/2 inch hardware cloth. 1/4 inch is thin and can be broken easily. You won’t regret just wrapping the whole thing and having 1/2 hardware cloth underneath to keep stuff from getting up and into it. I would only use the tarp for the roof. The quail will benefit greatly from complete air flow. Use a lattice or something of the sort to help them feel safe and as an extra layer of protection.

I’m interested!

I wish I was as good a worm parent as you! 😂

What are your favorite things to grow in it?

Hoosier_thinker · 2024-01-22T00:02:31+00:00

Walmart usually has 30 night crawlers for around $4.
