Worm farm and composting?


Hi, I’ve just started a veggie garden. So, I thought I’d be environmentally sound and start a worm farm an a composting bin (heat composting). I’ve read that worms don’t have teeth and things should be small enough for quick digestion. So, my question is:- If I put my scraps into the heat composter first, can I add this compost to my worm farm once it’s semi-composted?

Cheers ;)

You absolutely can do this.
It is exactly what I do and I am a worm farmer.
I put all my fruit and vegetable scraps in my traditional compost pile, let it go through the heat process, then begin feeding that pre-composted materials to the worm bins.
They go through it very quickly, it speeds up the entire process and makes a beautiful, nutrient rich finished product.
Good thinking!

Bluegill fishing assistance?

i have researched on line and many say a 1/32 ounce jig is the best things to use for these fish. I have plain jigs, what do i hook on them. All my rubber grubs are too big. All i have thats small are these, black soldier fly larvae. heres a picture of these worms.

do you think those will do for fishing bluegill?

WORMS! All you need is tiny pieces of worms on your hook. Don’t leave too much hanging off or the pesky fish will rip it off. Also, crickets and other insects work. Bread and corn have been known to work but I have never tried them. Good luck fishin’!

Mindbites: How to Make Organic Compost

http://www.mindbites.com/lesson/136-how-to-make-organic-compost

Marisol works at the Oasis Gardens in Austin, Tx. This wholly organic farm produces bountiful produce of such beauty and splendor the likes of which your local grocery store has probably never seen.

In this lesson, with a pleasant degree of pep and vivaciousness, she divulges everything there is to know about homemade organic compost.

Composting is a beneficial activity for many reasons, one being that it keeps easily decomposable organic waste out of the already over-flowing junkyards were it will most likely sit wedged between piles old Coke Zero bottles and discarded America Online start-up discs. And, for the home gardener, the benefits from your own compost heap are astronomical.

It’s simple, easy, and environmentally concise…a triple whammy!
