How do you feed yours?

If it is the black stuff that comes from the bottom of the can of worms in liquid form i think you are abit heavy handed with the dilution rate i used some of this 5 years ago it was good stuff but strong the best i ever used very potent jacob

Worms in liquid? Have I read this correctly? Yuk! sorry, I don't understand....can someone please explain in simple terms of course! Thanks Bernie

hi Bernie the black liquid that comes out of the bottom of a worm farm is a very good feed i would say stronger than comfrey or netles if you want to find out about there is a web page by the worm woman from the USofA the term is Vermiculture i think if you want to google that jacob

Thanks JM - although I like worms, don't think I fancy a worm farm just at the moment! Bernie

They are the the litle red ones that live in the forrests under the fir trees if done right they do not smell only escape when under stress jacob

Yeepers! they sound even worse than normal worms (the ones on my lottie are like small snakes!). Bernie

Ah you can get very fond of your composting worms, endless source of interest (how sad is that, I know) and my beans are thriving on my first harvest of worm compost.
They won't eat all of your veg waste (unless you're not eating your five a day) but they are little trouble and quietly get on with producing the goods.

It seems a bit hit and miss to say dilute your pony-doo water 10 - 1. It depends on how much poo is in the bag and how much water is in the bucket/barrel, doesn't it? Or am I missing something? (DON'T answer that!)

[dexterdoglancashire]

Well, its a black dustbin full of water and a half onion sack full of pony poo - anyone got a mathematical solution? or will 10 to 1 work? Bernie
Second thoughts - perhaps with all this rain we are having, perhaps the dilution won't be too much of a problem if its too strong - with the amount of rain we are having at the mo, I reckon it will be pretty well diluted anyhow!
