Ewww that sounds yucky… but they are wonderful for the garden

 

[Lily]

No, vermiculture...worm composting.

 

[Murdock]

@Breakfall the guy I bought them from off OfferUp told me to add iron if the tips of the leaves get reddish

 

[Breakfall]

lol…I do that!

 

[Lily]

Yeah, I don't like touching worms. I'm gonna have to wear gloves...but the compost is wonderful for plants.

 

[Murdock]

What is that???!? @Lily

 

[Murdock]

My grands had a compost it was so gross

 

[Lily]

What is what?

 

[Lily]

compost gets bad when it's not hot enough to keep it from rotting

 

[Breakfall]

@Lily I don’t use the actual compost. I run water through the worm farm and drain off the liquid fertiliser.

 

[Murdock]

the worm compost

 

[Breakfall]

That’s the key.

 

[Murdock]

I dump my fish tank water on the plants when I change it out

 

[Breakfall]

A worm farm can’t support continual use of actual compost.

 

[Lily]

That's good @Murdy

@Murdy my koi ponds waste goes to the garden.

 

[Lily]

I want a salt water tank, but one project at a time.

 

[Lily]

Here they call liquid from worm farms "worm tea".

 

[Breakfall]

I want to install a fertigation system so my backwashing is utilised completely.

 

[Breakfall]

Worm tea! I like it. Lol

 

[Lily]

That would make your garden thrive, imo.

 

[Breakfall]

I have a horticultural trick that really works. Dynamic lifter. Chicken processed pellets. Chuck a quarter of a bucket of pellets in a bucket with water, wait 6 hours….and one has liquid gold.

 

[Lily]

interesting...

 

[Lily]

Is that different from chicken manure?

 

[Breakfall]

Remember Horticultural products is a business. People waste far too money on useless products.

 

[Murdock]

OMG you have koi?

 

[Lily]

Yeah, @Murdy...scroll up, he posted pics. I encouraged him to start a thread somewhere...probably gen disc

 

[Breakfall]

@Murdy yes girl. The old man @Seamajor calls them tilapia for some strange reason that only he knows. Lol

 

[Breakfall]

@Lily I get better responses from an international koi forum. Posting pics here would only get poor responses.

 

[Breakfall]

its not worth the trouble unfortunately.
