How to Make Vermicompost



I did this in Leimen but never got around to building a new worm bin. So I ordered new worms. I'll start another worm bin. Make sure and put something under it to catch the worm pee. That can be used in compost tea. We want to start setting up our straw bales in the vegetable garden. They need a few months of rain water and a natural compost like worm compost. After a few months of the straw breaking down, you can plant in the straw bales. I have about a dozen straw bales I bought last fall. I thought I would try straw bale gardening this year. I won't do it in the whole garden, just a section. And then next year, I'll take the used straw to cover my raised beds. The straw mulch in my vegetable garden has been amazing! I'm sold on mulch! The ground improved so much in one season. And I only needed to water my vegetables 3 times all summer.

Olivia is born

My niece had a beautiful baby girl named Olivia Rose (Beautiful name). Everyone is very excited and thank God healthy! Congratulations to the whole family! Hugs to my sister Shelley who is now a proud grandma for the 2nd time. My sister Dianna has 6 grand kids (I think). My brother and I are too young for such an blessing. At least our kids are too young. I'm going to have to wait to be called grandma. Here is a cool picture I took off Shelley's blog. It shows Eric (the tired but proud grandpa) Lissa with her first daughter Charlotte, and then a sleeping Olivia Rose. 3 generations in one shot. How fast life goes by! How beautiful life can be!

painting the garage

Rick goes home in the morning. I'm sure he will be happy to see his kids again. 3 weeks is along time to be away. The time has passed so fast. It's been really wonderful! So wonderful!!! We may stay up all night, that way he can sleep well on the flight. Hopefully his jet lag will be less this way! Anyway, here is his painting. It turned out more then good! I really love it...just like I love my brother! We will have to do this again soon!

chicken coop idea

Why not start with an IBC and cut a hole for the door? You could build closed laying boxes into it, and something for the chickens to roost on. Put some straw or saw dust on the floor. You could add vents to the side for air. If it sat inside a chicken run that you can walk into, the chickens could be safe, dry and happy. I have an extra IBC. Maybe this could be my chicken house? I bet I could even plant the outside of it with mud and grass for extra insulation and good looks.
