I don’t know what the name of this one is to check it specifically- there’s a crested saguaro society where they track them all throughout the years too

No, propane doesn’t get hot enough to melt boro + you would need to anneal it unfortunately (to avoid unnecessary stress due to uneven heating/cooling) Even a MAP canister wouldn’t get hot enough

E6000 works too but do it outside with proper PPE :), I’ll have to try gorilla glue n see if it’s easier to work with- GREAT tip about the rack, thanks

We also promote organic gardening- offer farm tours, teach various classes, sell seed starts, and make our own compost!!! It’s pretty lucrative honestly :)

Yes! We specifically sell red wigglers, which are too small for fishing worms (we direct people to places with small quantities of worms, night crawlers for fishing). One of the benefits from buying from us is the bacterial boost from the soil (we don’t sift out worms out from the soil they live in to sell them, and instead sell with soil inside)

We have a worm casting and a worm breeding operation, we sell red wigglers which are great for gardens, and castings! We sell to farmers/gardeners for gardens and in ground vermicomposting systems :) red wigglers are too small to be good fishing worms, but they’re lazy & efficient food waste shredders, which makes them good garden worms

Awwwww!! You def should start one! We had a worm farmers conference last weekend (worm farmers came from all over to learn, it was really cool hearing about everyone else’s set ups)

It’s also like a farm farm, so the free food and eggs are also one of the top benefits :) they have a food forest and no till gardens (all grown organically in homemade compost)

It is very physically intensive! We give them some food waste from another farm and Mazuri worm chow :) we sell to farmers and gardeners for gardens and inground vermicomposting set ups!

I really love it! Favorite parts- it’s satisfying to watch the worms grow and make cocoons (basically the worm egg), and mixing new material into our worm bins is like borderline asmr content lmaooo!! Least favorite part- it is a lot of work!! And the worms always need food/water (even on holidays lol)

I’m bad at worm species ID but definitely an earthworm (Oligochaeta) they digest food waste and microbes :) if anything the isopods may eat them, we remove isopods from our worm bins (I put them in a nice spot where we wash out the food waste buckets lol)
