#worm bin

[wowbright]

I remember the Lomi bin being all over my dash when Darren Criss and Mia Swier got one. I wondered if it would be a smaller substitute for my worm bin, which is fairly easy to maintain but the size of a kitchen trash can (about 30 gallons), I had lots of questions about it because I couldn't understand how anything could produce usable compost in less than one day.

I have finally found a helpful article that explains the pros and cons of it. One of the cons? It doesn't actually produce compost. Basically, it combines the function of two other kitchen appliances by pulverizing (food processor or very powerful blender) and dehydrating (dehydrator or oven) your food. The finished product canNOT be used the exact same way that you would use compost, because it has not matured into a soil-like substance the way that mature compost has.

I thought that maybe it could be used to speed up composting with a worm bin, by breaking down and shrinking the food for the worms first before giving it to them. But I don't think it would be worth it for that, because if you add water to it, it expands back to its previous volume. And the rehydration aspect also means it's not ideal as a soil substitute in house plants because it can have the same issues with rotting smells, etc., as before you spent electricity on dehydrating it.

In a newer product photo on the Lomi website, I also saw that the bin is quite a bit larger than I thought, not really what I would consider "countertop" size as Lomi advertises. It looks about 1/3 to 1/2 the size of my worm bin, and about the size of a starter worm bin or the permanent worm bin of someone who doesn't do a lot of cooking or eat lots of bananas (or other fruits and vegetables that come with their own "packaging").

So I will be sticking with my worm bin.

Though now I am looking into bokashi to see if that would be another composting method appropriate for my situation ...

This one feel a bird of a cheat: those are my compost worms when I just received them. 

Facts from the Royal Horticulture Society: A ‘worm bin’ or ‘wormery’ usually consists of at least two compartments; a lower collection sump for the liquid and an upper composting area where the kitchen waste goes in and the worms actively work. However, single compartment wormeries can be also used.The worms used for composting are known by various names; brandling, manure, red or tiger worms. These include the species Eisenia foetida, E. andreii and Dendrabaena veneta. Composting worms live in decaying organic matter, whereas earthworms are soil dwellers. They are smaller and darker red than the common earthworm, Lumbricus terrestris, which is unsuitable for using in worm composting.

y'all I slightly fucked up with the worm bin

one of the things you don't want is too high a moisture level and unfortunately, I wasn't keeping an eye on things and the moisture was so high it was literally dripping off the lid. Whoops! Little wormies were trying to escape!

So yesterday I took a larger drill bit and drilled a bunch of holes into the cover, and added a thick layer of ripped up cardboard. Things look muuuuuch better today and there are no more attemped-escapees, so I think we'll be ok lol

But wow I did not plan the ventilation well enough!

would you still love god if it was a worm? or did you already step over it as it lay dying on the hot concrete after the heavy rain?

Best Vermi Composting Bins

Vermicompost is the final product of composting organic material using different types of worms, such as red wigglers (Eisenia Fetida) or earthworms, to create a homogenized blend of decomposed vegetable and food waste, bedding materials and manure. https://wormwigwam.com/vermicomposting/

the garden i tend at work is getting overrun with snails so i thought about a world where we acquired a domesticated a "working dog" breed of hammerhead worm (they eat snails and slugs and worms) that is also. a puppy. Bred to clear vegetation of common slimy garden pests. click under readmore if u wanna see the worm theyre based off of i think theyre really cute

Dear Solarpunks

Consider making a worm bin.

Strong message to follow.

#ani rambles #out of queue #im gonna add more to this in a reblog later after I finish cooking dinner #but the long and the short of it is this #in 2020 I made a worm bin. my parents didnt think we’d make enough food scraps to sustain it #now its 2023 and my dad is worried about feeding them TOO much. i tossed out the idea of making a second bin and he’s considering it #are they a perfect fit for everyone? no not necessarily #but they’re a nice option to at least consider for yourself

only halfway through spring 🥴👍

tw dead animal

so i got the heart out and put it in with formaldehyde and ethyl alcohol and i think i got my measurements wrong bc the heart is now greying and hideous on my shelf but i must hold out til the end. i wonder. what does this mean symbolically ? has unrequited adoration taken a physical role in my life? is this punishment for morbid curiosity and selfish preservation of what is not mine? listened only to tmbg and what a jarring experience to slice through ribs listening to I Hope That I Get Old Before I Die. also made chicken burritos and showed my friend bride of reanimator and he fuckign hated hill's wings.

#i dont know bird anatomy very well so i ended up creating a Shaun of the Dead style hole in this poor creature #just like embalming i did talk to him and thank him for his genrrosity and a safe travel to wherever he goes #the liver was outstanding and massive i loved it so much i dug a grave for it #the bird now lays in a storage bin with my dead squirrel surrounded by meal worms so i can easily get to his bones #.jpg #story

@highoctanegem replied to your post “[pm] Hiiiiiiiiiiii babe, you know it's totally...”:

[pm] RIGHT! Totally my bad queen. I forgot we literally had this convo when we met. You're no baby or pig. But come onnnn! Babies are adorable :( MILFs are defo better though. But it totes is! I just wanna be respectful about W-Day! Which I learned is a legit holiday not at all made up. Think of it as, cultural appreciation. Do you think the world could handle a girthier Jade? I doubt it, but if you have a sauce for me, by all means give it to me.

​[pm] Babies are not adorable unless they are baby worms. Babies are untrustworthy and disloyal and make you book the middle seat in an economy flight. A MILF would never do that.

It is technically made up in the way that all holidays are "made up". But I see you and the unfashionable child banshee are close, if she is disclosing W-Day, our sacred worm day, to you. I cannot see how you would have learned of this auspicious worm occasion otherwise.

Perhaps new girth will make you tall. Then you may finally reach things on shelves.

[user attaches recipe for "GIRTHY JADE SAUCE" which includes: vegetable and fruit scraps, egg shells, tea leaves and leafy green vegetables.] Several people falsely assume that meat, gristle or decomposing wildlife would lead to healthy, happy, girthy Jades but the odor can attract unwanted wildlife and further more, the present bacteria may be unhealthy for the surrounding plants. Wild Jades will happily eat anything, that is true, but we are not talking about wild Jades. We have a responsibility to be as kind to our domesticated Jades as possible, and to provide the best environment for them and understand Jades life in the cycle of soil enrichment. Suffice to say, a lesser Jade handler would feed their Jades meat or dairy and they would be wrong for it.

#highoctanegem #she is talking about compost worms #also no one come at me all this info is from uncle jim's worm farm #if its wrong take it up with uncle jim #her secret worm sauce is that she has a lovingly tended to compost worm bin #c: jade #pms

Ok but race car romance BUT the racers are both robots in a futuristic setting. Rivals to lovers robots edition, with a plenty of car euphemisms thrown in and perhaps bumping bumpers in more ways then one ; )
