I'm no expert, but I would mix it up and let it "cook" whenever you have time. From what I understand, to let it sit unused, as long as you have the proper moisture and don't let it dry out, the better. It'll give the soil time to get set up and start breaking down all the amendments you add to...

Nice man, I'm sure there's still some population in there. Have you dug around in there at all? Also, where did you get and how many worms did you start with by chance? Sorry if you posted this previously, I may have missed it. I'd definitely still put some food up top and leave the peel or...

dang, hopefully they still in there man and just hiding. I would try and feed a banana peel or avocado skin (had an avocado peel sit on top for a week or so in a position hard for the worms to get in it and it grew some thick white mycelium in it) on top and see what happens. if nothing else...

Sorry if you posted this somewhere earlier, but im curious about your aloe ferment. I have a couple aloe plants that are thriving, but I have limited space for what I have going, only 2x2x4 and a 2x2.5x7 tents at the moment. Not growing MJ at the moment, but have a few random things growing in...

So I was reading about some different worm bin methods and was thinking bout this thread. How's everything coming along for you guys? I still have a few worms pop up in my bottom leachate bin, but not as bad. I think the inputs I had been adding caused a little too much moisture below the...

the pictures below are of the two little tents I have going. the aloe plants had a rough transfer when I moved a few months ago (had 15-20 degree temps for a 12 hour ride in the back of a u haul, then sat on a shelf for a month before they went back into the tent). they have recovered well now...

Haha, I can imagine that tree removal won't be fun, but your radishes look great though sir. Since getting into gardening within the past few years, it definitely has become my most time consuming hobby as well. So many different things to learn and try makes the "work" almost as rewarding as...

Awesome thread man, cool to see someone doing what I am attempting on a smaller scale, hopefully I can up size sometime in the near future, at least indoors that is. I have enough room outdoors to keep me occupied this year. I am currently really limited in space indoors, but am utilizing my two...

Nice to hear things are going well sir. I'm pretty sure you're not going to starve the worms down in the bottom bin, but I only use one feeding bin and only stack two bins for a short period. I am still new to the whole vermicompost scene as well and just pick up different tips along the way...

haha liking the theo von podcast in the background sir..:)

I sure hope not, I use it in all sorts of applications. I was reading about compost teas again, I think it was microbe man but maybe it was a different source, but it stated that alfalfa is a source of food for both bacteria and fungi. would love to hear some more experienced input on this though.

I just brought a tote of soil that had sat outside for a few winter months, not quite that cold though. I let it warm up for a few days, added a little fresh castings and a sprinkle of kelp, then let it sit for another week. although I'm not growing mj at the moment, I planted some clover and...

nice to see you and shluby working through this, thank you guys. Since I have the bottom escapee worms in my bin as well, I've been paying a little more attention to it lately. I feel like I am seeing the bigger more "earthworm" type worms in my bottom bin. I bought my worms from uncle jims...

unfortunately I can't offer any advice, but props on being detailed and seeking the advice. I love soaking in the info I have a little less options than you, but followed a similar recipe to your "mine" blend. i went a little over on kelp crab shell I think. did you notice much difference...

Nice man, hope it goes well and keep me updated. I'd always like to see someone else's results as well. What kind of soil mix are you using at the moment? As far as your worm questions, I am not the one to answer it to be honest. I have the same thing going on in my bins. I really don't mind it...

Nice, not too far from what I've been doing then. I am no expert, only had the worm bin for around a year, but I feel like the oats have helped. My worms seem to be more active if nothing else. Does your outdoor compost include food scraps in it? I got my piles heating up pretty nicely now, all...

this inspired me to go turn my bins outside before some winter mix rolls into my area soon. I still haven't started using biochar just quite yet though. I want to set up my own little kon tiki style kiln and make my own from all the scrap brush/tree limbs that fall all over the yard. Have you...

Yea I remember looking at that stuff when I made the purchase, but have what seems to be an endless amount of kelp meal from my initial purchase on that. 40 lbs for what I have going was a little excessive. I figured just go with the straight humic acid and control the other inputs with...

I've been using the bioag VAM endo product on all my plants this last round of growing and am getting towards the end of the bag. I was wondering if had any suggestions for a better source of mycos or if the VAM is a quality product. The only other myco source I've used (I am a very new grower...

Looks nice, what bedding do you use for your bins? Do you use similar aeration methods as to when building a soil? I started my first bin with coco, but have switched over to just using lightly amended peat to buffer acidity, mainly just oyster shell and some rock dust, and a few handfuls of...
