would compost alot faster..
as is now i get really well composted castings in 2 months..
ive been harvesting more castings lately to put in my potting mix..
all my tropicals love the addition..
i also add castings to my potted up tomato plants..which are blooming now..and getting huge.. its still to early to put them out in garden..
we always seem to get one last nasty freeze..so i hold off till 1st week of june..
best of luck to ya dreamoftropics
I've had mine for about 3 weeks now and I'm just wondering how I will get the castings from such a large bed, will I have to wait until the whole bed turns to castings or??? I mean I've read how to harvest the worms etc, but I just can't figure out if I should just let it sit until I obviously have alot of castings or??? I mean I have 8000 worms there have to be castings in there LOL and should I not add anymore bedding until its mostly castings!?!? I'm sure I'll figure it out when it comes I'm just impatient hahaha
