2016 May 18 - Vermicompost harvest

Post date: May 18, 2016 2:24:10 PM

Today was the long awaited first vermicompost harvest from the Worm Factory that I set up in December!

Patience is key to let the worms do their work, grow their numbers and create compost.

I am feeding them about 3 quarts of fiber, left from juicing, mixed with coffee grounds, ground egg shells and oak leaves about every 3 or 4 days.

Some days we say we have to make green juice, to feed the worms...ha.

We got about 2 gallons of rich compost, that went directly into the vegetable garden;

I gave each plant only a couple tablespoons, we will see how they respond.

I hope I can get another batch in about 6 weeks.
