that's my dream right there, nice work. I have a lot more land to play with now on my new property, but don't think I can get chickens just quite yet. I would love to find someone with a lot of rabbits and start acquiring all the rabbit manure I can get. I have a 4 bin system made out of old...

Nice, ill definitely cut out the alfalfa meal from the worm bin. I do have a bunch of chopped up pumpkins in big freezer bags that I just got a few weeks ago. Ill for sure plan on blending those up and seeing the speed they go through that as opposed to just a rough chop. I like the idea of...

Thank you for the fast response. I have recently started doing just a dusting of oatmeal over the top of my entire bin either right before or right after a big vege/fruit feeding. I have only blended my feed a couple of times. Do you think this is must do for speeding up the process? I tend to...

I'm curious, where are you guys sourcing your biochar? Do any of you still use the natural lump charcoal from lowes or home depot? I just cant justify spending the price that some sites are asking + shipping when I know there has to be an easier way to get/make my own, much like all other things...

I do the same thing and keep them in my bedroom as well. Worst issue I ever have is a random scraggler falling off the lid every so often. Sometimes I see it, other times they die on the floor within inches of the bin. I'm not sure if this has been touched on in this thread already, but what...

Also, have a bunch of old logs and "rotted" wood with some nice fungal growth on them. A lot of them are broken down on the underside into finer good looking mulch/compost. Im assuming these would be great additions to the bins as well? I plan on moving these and utilizing them in some way, the...

yea, finally got the first one set up, so started to dig through the big un-maintained pile and it was looking real nice on the bottom layers. Nice and dark/fine compost. I decided not to try and harvest any of the finished looking compost yet, since it is the winter now and really not much use...

Yea that stuff looks great, I'll have to try it out. I'll just use what I have on hand for now and finish slapping these pallets together to get this compost flowing. I also have a 10+ year old pile of lawn clippings/leaves from the yard that has just been piled on top of each other over the...

So i just started on making some leaf/grass composting bins. I decided to start with old wood pallets and lay them on their sides and tie them together with cable ties and some old scrap wire I had lying around. Do you guys suggest wrapping them in landscaping fabric or chicken wire to try and...

Hey, sorry if this question was answered already, but I'm curious as to why you like to limit the fruit input into your worm castings and go strictly "veggie"? I seem to find myself feeding more so fruit scraps than veggie (probably a 75-25 fruit to veggie). Also, I was wondering your take on...

I tried making my own a few times on my outdoor garden last season by just bubbling around a quarter cup of both neem and karanja with a handful of castings/compost and then added some yucca extract right before I sprayed. It definitely helped with eliminating some of the damage being caused to...

This is my first post on the site, been reading through as much of the highly useful information on the organics thread that I can handle. I know I've read it somewhere along my lurking, but cannot seem to remember how to/where I read how to produce a neem spray from the meal. Is it as simple...
