anyone here doing vermicomposting or worm farming? I started a 80 qt cooler of worms and shreddings a month ago. The worms seem to be doing the 3 neccessary things to produce what they're supposed to. Anyone have input?

(3,440 posts)I'm in Pinellas too! Near Trader Joe's on 4th Street! No dragon fruit here tho and I don't know about it.
There are quite a few DUers here in St Pete. I think it has something to do with the downtown, the music scene, the pier, and the weather.
One of these days we'll have to have a meet up. Demens Landing would be a great spot and I think it has outdoor grills for picniccing.

but I haven't gotten them started yet.
I did a good deal of vermicomposting in years past, so I know a bit about it. Back then I made my own worm bins. I don't know if the ones shown in the picture will make harvesting the compost easier or not, but that was the one thing that was time consuming about it. I can remember standing there for hours sifting out the worms to get my compost.
On the other hand, there is nothing like this compost. I grew morning glories with leaves the size of a human hand, a large one!
I'll be able to compare notes with you soon, though.
