I used to dig them out of my garden and throw them into my worm bins, worked great until i realized my veggie garden is essentially a giant worm bin. When i need castings i take a scoop from my garden.
Brah HiloReign, Cooter is right on the dot! Just make some veggie garden beds, get an ecosystem going; unless you live in an apartment or something than I would stick to bins. Screw what you've read I can tell you from personal experience that my "vermicompost" mix is better than any ewc you'll buy on the shelf and I don't have much red wigglers, I'm actually not 100% sure if I have any at all, I know I got some small red one but I think they could just be baby worms, if you insist on using reds than look compost worms up on CL you can get some in kona im pretty sure,a long with bins. Honestly though, those "Alabama jumpers" will do just as good as the reds, I like them better because they can handle getting fed high ppm and not die, after a complete grow they're still alive and crawling in my pots. Personally I make bokashi and feed it to my worms, than use that mircoreation to feed my plants, I can add this to my soil,top feed,make tea's all works wonders.

The Hawaii crowd never fails here, I really appreciate it.

Sadly, I'm in a rental where every inch of ground outside is covered with gravel. The avocado tree outside get plenty worms though and my couple of bins shouldn't be hard to populate. The wet newspaper is in a good spot already!

I really like the idea of worms wandering through my pots giving roots air and takin' a shit.

Also, have you heard of insect frass? I managed to scoop a free 1/2 lb. of it up and it seems like a good product. Here's a link. Have a good one and thanks again.

Hilo- get some worms in Mt View on CL farm and garden, hope this helps......
Forgot that it said Mt.View, maybe i'll grab some. Thanks Surf'd, I hope your garden is providing you with all you need. Also, hope all is sailing smooth this moon~

Let me know if you need any help, because it was a shame you had to cut those tre's early.

Personally, "Spliffs" making the adventure off to the great indoors. In order to take control over my enviorment, my perspective of this medicine has changed and I don't have any grow journals yet also, it's time for something new. I will still be cultivating outdoors, for making edibles, tinctures, and bubble; but I've "seen the light" and it's time for a change. Put some beans in rapid rooters last night. Tomorrow they should start popping up and I will be taking some pictures hopefully starting my journal , no promises.lol
Feel free to stop by and check a braddah out guys! I'm sure going to need help this round because everything is new to me; it's a whole new ball game :fire:
Aloha~

Just working with what I got, which is a T5 that I previously used for veg. I'm going through lots of chiropractic work now and my body is trying to heal. I just gotta take it easy, so I'm going for what is convenient. I can't be out turning piles of soil all day, so I'm going to be using Dyna Gro Grow + Protekt,and GO CalMag in Coco. My journal will have all the details, check it out. . .when I make it.lol

What size light in the 2nd and 6th pic?

Also, I'm going 12/12 fs. With all the money being spent on my spine, going to have to take it easy on the eletric bill. This will be cheaper than vegging and throwing them out, but it's going to be a trip having an ounce of indo to "savor" but this is where i'm going with this whole thing. I gotta stop being such a chronic, and remember I'm a medical patient and this shit is medicine. So i'll be content with my ounce of homegrown medicine, at least i'm still growing. . .could be worse

I got H&G Coco, any recommendations on when I should give it calcium or feed? I'm guessing on my first watering. It comes pretty moist already I was planning on just putting the RR in the coco, btw I already got roots showing in less than 24 hours with a shitty cfl bulb and an old ass heat matt on low setting underneath, never sprouted yet but the tap root can get 4 inch plus before the sprout breaks soil, thats why you should use at least 6 inch pots to prevent any stunting.

I never went under the knife, how was it? How are you? lol I can't believe the medical bills I'm getting in the mail for nothing! They just send me home and tell me to take IBU profen, they still don't know whats wrong and I'm scheduled for a Cytoscopy. I'm glad my insurance covers this, because I would be pissed to be stuck with all that debt with no answers. Just referrals and prescriptions, I'm a fucking guinea pig it's pretty disgusting how they're handeling my case. Unfortunately my insurance does not cover my chiropractic work, which can get pretty costly going three times a week. . .
