Hmmm, they looked bigger. European nightcrawlers aka: Red worms, belgium night crawlers, Carolina crawlers,Super Red, blue worm are about the diameter of a pencil where as Red wigglers are much much smaller.Pics can really throw dimensions off.
Smurf said:Hi 'wormies' ,... I'm gonna have to give the fruit skin (citrus) ashes a go, seems like an excellent way of incorporating them into the ewc. I know most of you are quite familiar with the ashes of skinned fruit but I've never tried it before, so I've decided to start using it in the next ewc bin I start for bloom. I need to sit down and nut out the pk & application specs before I start it,.. normally the only fruit/veg I never place in my ewc bin is citrus and onions (anything in those families) but you guys have given me another avenue.[snipped]
Pops said:Jackson, if you are a coffee drinker, use your old grounds in the veg bin. It is high in nitrogen.
The ideal situation would be to raise rabbits, and throw all the rabbit shit in the worm beds. Good fertilizer for mj and great food for worms.
jolene said:Odd - my worms dig onions (but I do cover them with dolomite lime when i add them) and they are packed with sulphur Im told.
I strongly recommend oatbran and wheatgerm for a bit of a treat and it seems to boost their breeding after the cold season (I am in the UK so I dont know if you have a cold season) and yeast is always a winner. As are avodados, they bloody love them.
Ill try out your ashes technique, sounds like a goer.
