DIY Vermicomposting - A Worm Farm on a Budget

!±8± DIY Vermicomposting - A Worm Farm on a Budget

Have you wanted to set up a home worm farm, but been put off by the high cost of purchasing one of the neat "designer label" multi-tiered "vermicomposting" kits, promoted by garden centres and mail order companies? Well, let's cut through the crap! - ITS ACTUALLY NO SECRET !!! -You can easily make your own DIY three bin kit for a just a few dollars and your worms will be as happy as little pigs in the yellow stuff, with no big bad wolf in sight. Moreover, you don't need to be an expert handyman to achieve this!

Hardware stores, supermarkets and camping outlets sell tough, general purpose black (opaque) plastic storage containers for a very reasonable price. These are usually tapered so that they can be nested to facilitate stacking on the retailer's shelves and come with a "snap-fit"ce lid. For your worm farm, you will need three of these tapered containers (but only one lid). For a simple home worm farm I would advise going for 12 gallon (45 litre) containers. Typically, they will be about 15 inches deep (400mm). You can go smaller, if you want. In the first storage container, drill a 3/8 inch (15mm hole), centrally placed, in the side of the bin, just above the base. Insert a ½ inch (12mm) cheap plastic barrel or irrigation tap (with washers) into your hole and tighten fast with lock nuts - make sure you get a good seal - test by filling the container with tap water. This container is to be the lowest one in your stack and will retain the highly nutritional "worm tea" leachate, that will start dripping down from the composting bins above. Worm tea is a valuable liquid organic fertilizer, that can be diluted and used directly on your organic vegetables.

The two upper bins will actually hold the worms. They are to be identical and are prepared as follows : -

Drill a pattern of ¼ inch (6mm) holes across the entire base of each container for drainage and to allow drainage and the upward migration of the compost worms, these holes should be regularly spaced at approx two inch (50mm) centres in either direction. For aeration, drill two rows of ¼ inch (6mm) holes at two inch (50mm) centres, in a continuous band around each of the bins. This band of holes would be about four inches (100mm) below the top rim of the bin. It is not essential to drill holes in the lid, which is closed tightly over the upper bin. as you should get enough air through the sides. You first set up the lower (sump) bin on bricks or blocks, allowing enough space to tap off the fluid from beneath it. Choose a shady location for the worm farm (in a shed or garage, if you are subject to frosts). The second and third bins are "nested" within each other and dropped into the sump bin. To maintain a working space for the worms, and for accumulation of compost, you need a few spacers or packers of about six to eight inches height, between the two upper bins and some smaller packers of about four inches in the lower (sump) bin. You can use wood blocks or sealed food jars for packers. The packers also prevent the tapered worm bins from jamming together. To prevent "nasty bugs" from squeezing in between the bins, you should close (caulk) the small gap between them with strips of shade cloth, or mosquito netting.

Now you are ready to go into production. Space prevents us from giving fully detailed notes here for the fine points of operating the system, such as choosing and feeding your worms, eradicating pests and maintaining the worm farm etc - you can visit our website for this information. However, just make sure that you cover the following points: -

Set up your worms in the top bin with a good (damp) fibrous bedding (or even shredded newspaper) and after a few days you will be ready to start feeding in your kitchen scraps. Cover the food with more bedding material to discourage pests and keep the lid closed. Make sure the worm farm is never allowed to dry out, by sprinkling water over the bedding periodically, if there is not already enough moisture coming from the food scraps. When the top bin has been fully productive for a while, the worms will multiply and compost will be start accumulating from the worm castings. When the quantity of compost is meaningful, stop putting feed into this bin and swap over the upper two bins by putting bin No 2 to the top of the stack, with bin No 1 now in the middle. Set up this new top bin with clean bedding, a small amount of the old castings and immediately start feeding your kitchen scraps into it. The worms will naturally migrate upwards towards the new food source, leaving the lower bin with only a few stragglers and ready for the harvesting of your compost within about three weeks after the swap. All you need to do is to keep repeating the process of alternating the top two bins on a regular basis, taking out the compost, whenever it accumulates, and tapping off the worm tea from time to time. Use both products in your garden and grow delicious fully organic vegetables and stunning roses. Sit back and enjoy the fruit of your labours - your worms are doing most of the work anyway!

Happy worming!

Fifty Ways Your Home Can Help Save Our Planet

!±8± Fifty Ways Your Home Can Help Save Our Planet

Are you concerned about global warming? Have you thought about what you can do to improve the environment in your community? How your home can help save our planet? Perhaps you've thought the problems are too big, too complex - and what you do makes no difference.

Think again! Each small step you take can improve water and air quality in your neighborhood, each thing you do to improve the environment in your home can help save our planet.

Start by making a list of ways your home can help save our planet. For starters, here are fifty ways your home can help save our planet. Many of these actions will save you money as well.

Clean water
Use environmentally-friendly household cleaning products. Use phosphate-free dishwasher and laundry detergent. Minimize use of garbage disposal. Recycle waste materials. Minimize use of herbicides and pesticides. Don't dispose of toxic household products by burying them in your yard - take them to a household hazardous waste disposal facility. Use non-toxic roof and deck cleaners. Use non-toxic paints and coatings. Landscape for clean water - minimize runoff from hard surfaces - consider rain gardens that collect rainwater and allow it to percolate into the soil. Plant trees and shrubs that help filter runoff from your yard.
Water conservation
Check every your entire water system to be sure that your it is leak-free. Check for toilet tank leaks by adding food coloring to the tank. If the toilet is leaking, color will appear within 30 minutes. Replace old toilets with efficient 1.6gal/flush models. Minimize water use as much as possible in bathing, showering, laundering, washing hands and dishes. Operate automatic dishwashers and clothes washers only when they are fully loaded or properly set the water level for the size of load you are using. Install water-saving aerators on faucets and flow regulators on showers. Insulate your water pipes. You'll get hot water faster plus avoid wasting water while it heats up. You'll also save energy. Plant native and/or drought-tolerant grasses, ground covers, shrubs and trees. They do not need to be watered frequently and will likely survive a dry period without any watering. Minimize lawn watering. Use a rain barrel to collect rainwater for lawn and garden watering. 
Clean Air
Choose paints and coatings with the lowest possible amount of volatile organic compounds for your project. (VOC evaporates from paint and contributes to smog.) If you live in a smog-prone area, try to avoid painting during summertime peak smog periods. Clean up latex paint with water, but do not rinse the water down the drain or dispose in your yard. Take the clean-up water to a household hazardous waste facility. Keep lids closed on paint containers when not in use. Use stripping products that contain no volatile solvents. Use low-VOC cleaning solvents. Store used rags in closed container. Avoid open burning - compost your yard waste. Check your wood-burning stove to make sure it is operating efficiently. Maintain your oil furnace to make sure it is operating efficiently.
Energy savings
In wintertime, turn thermostat down at night - better yet, install a programmable thermostat. Turn thermostat to an energy-saving temperature when you leave home. Naturally cool your home with breezes through open windows and doors. Plant trees for shade, but make sure that shade does not prevent use of solar power panels. Make sure your home has enough insulation in the ceiling, lower floor if over a crawl space, and walls. Check for air leaks at windows and doors - add insulation stripping as needed. Purchase only Energy-Star certified appliances. Wrap hot water heater with an insulation blanket designed for that purpose. Insulate attic and fan openings in the ceiling. Use energy-saving lamps: compact-fluorescent (CFL) or light-emitting-diode (LED) lamps.
Renewable energy
Check with your electric utility to determine its carbon footprint - or how much of their power is generated using carbon fuels such as coal and oil. Some states allow energy "supply choice" -- you choose your energy commodity supplier. Consider choosing the supplier with the smallest carbon footprint. Solar energy is a free resource - open window shades and let the sunshine warm your home in wintertime. Install solar-powered attic fans and garden lights. Build an inexpensive solar panel to power small appliances and learn the basics of solar power generation. Does your home have a large south-facing, unshaded rooftop? If so consider installing a solar power system. Wind energy is a free resource - open windows and doors and let the breezes cool your home in summertime. Build an inexpensive wind power turbine to power small appliances and learn the basics of wind power generation. Does your home have a large open area with available wind? If so consider installing a wind turbine. Small inexpensive efficient wind turbines will soon be available. Stay tuned!

The Best Compost Bins Are Homemade

!±8± The Best Compost Bins Are Homemade

The best homemade compost bins are usually the ones that you know you'll enjoy using. A creation such as this can be very rewarding, and can give out so many beneficial things as well. How to make a compost tumbler is something that you can make on your own. So to find out more, you can read on below to get some handy tips on how to construct it.

Before you can start on your D-I-Y compost tumbler, you'll have to prepare the following materials: a plastic barrel, a tape measure, some galvanized metal fence pole that are half-inch, four 2 by 4-inch treated lumber boards that are 8-feet long, a metal rebar pin, a nails drill, a large drill bit electric saw, some small hinges and hasps that are galvanized hardware, and some paint if you like.

After you've prepared the materials, you can then proceed to constructing your homemade bin. You can start by measuring and locating the central part of your plastic barrel. The barrel will serve as your home compost tumbler. And as soon as you find the center of the barrel, you may now proceed to drilling large holes on it. The holes must be big enough for the metal pole to fit in. After this, do some drilling again (on the barrel's surface), but this time, make small holes only. These smaller holes will serve as a drainage and aeration pathway.

Next, use an electric saw to cut a rectangle-shaped hole; and then cut on the barrels side area. The hole should be big enough for an average shovel head to fit in; as the size of the hole will enable you to put-in and take-out compost from the rotating barrel with ease. Now, as you complete this step, you may now drill holes for your screws, hinges and hasp hardware. Make a few holes on the top and bottom part of the rectangle-shaped holed that you've previously cut. Drill holes on the top and base of the whole barrel as well. After this, you may now start fastening your hardware with some galvanized nuts and bolts (the hinges are placed on the barrels top side, as the hasp is to the bottom side). After securing this, you may now attach the door (this was the cut piece from your rectangular hole), and then close it using a hasp.

After you've measured the lumber boards that you have, you should then cut these into half, to make out four more boards (4-feet long each). Form an X-shape using two boards, and then pound a few nails on them to safely secure it. Make 2 sets of these, as these will serve as the legs and support for the barrel. Also cut two sets of 2 by 4-inch boards, as you'll be using these to connect the two X-shaped boards (for stability purposes). After you've set the support on your barrel, you may now drill a half-inch hole to the metal pole (choose any side of the pole). You'll be putting in the metal rebar pin on this hole, as this will be used as a handle for your home composting container. And as soon as you've done this, you may proceed to painting it. That's if you want to put paint on it.

Your D-I-Y tumbler, will surely work wonders. Not only did you make your own eco composter, you've also paved a way for a cost-effective recycling system. The best compost bins homemade like this can definitely guarantee you long lasting results.
