well worms did not seem happy. so my guess was PH.
so been shaking some lime into bin and spinning.
sent for some PH strips. got them yesterday. so i took
some distilled water and some compost and put in a bottle.
shook it well and let set overnight. checked today. is 7.5
will add some more lime till it get's to 7. then will add more
worms. they should be happy then.

worms still don't like it. i am guessing i added a few
handfuls of pellet N. it must be the high N salts.
was cleaning up dirt bag spot. noticed i had a bag
of composted chicken shit so added it to composter.
i am still spinning it and running auger thru it every night.
was thinking i need paper or hard wood dust in there to
suck up the N. was cleaning porch a bit last night. i came
across a bag of cat litter. well looked at it was pellets.
thought thats odd so read bag. 100% recycled paper then
baked. so is paper pellets perfect. added some to bin it
was a little wet anyway. today i got around to harvesting
castings from worm bins. got plenty, so added a 5 gal
bucket to composter. was also kind of wet so added more
paper pellets. will spin and auger a week or so. then will
toss a few worms in there. see if they live or not.

worms still do not like it. there drying up. i had to have
added to much N. not much more i can do. have a few
idea's still thinking about it. ph is near 7 so is the salts.
last night i filled a little cup with it. then planted some
winter rye in it and covered with more. i will see if it does
ok. need to make sure is safe to add to dirt mix. the rye
will let me know.

well the rye sprouted and is growing.
i guess it is safe to use some in a soil mix.
pretty much looks like soil now.

This website goes back a very long and important time in history. We protested for legal medicine. Voted for laws legalizing me to grow a weed lest destructive than legalized beer. Drink 6 beers? Drunk and wearing a white sleeveless t shirt wife beater? .. Good Grief! At least, if your going to beat your wife or girl friend, quite wearing a wife beaters t shirt when you do it. YOur making the rest of us southern boys look back. I mean do you know how hot and swampy it gets in louisana swamps in summer? I mean. I've been there. Forget your normal 2 cans of Right Guard every 3 months. Your going to have to mortgage your 2nd bedroom. Of course I'm just joking. Ha Ha! You don't actually have to mortgage your 2nd bedroom thats impossible. Ha Ha... um. Ok I apologize. Yes I did exagerate a tiny bit. I"M HUMAN. Yes only WAY 2 cans of Right Guard would be eaual to that would be in VeneZuelA.
