Worm Composting

This is a worm composting bin made from 2 opaque plastic bins. The bin with holes sits inside the other. Follow the link for making this Worm Composting bin .

Food scraps in the worm composting bin. Don't be alarmed by the sprouts, in this picture they are from the onions, they will die soon enough and become food for the worms.

Shredded newspaper added to half of the worm composting bin. I usually cover all the food scraps with shredded newspaper as in the picture below.

Raising Gardens with Fallen Trees

This past Saturday, the Brennans and the Bradleys went to work building the frames for lasagna gardening. After trooping through the woods next to the Brennans' home to gather the fallen ash wood, they laid out the logs, cut them to the length they wanted (3 for each side - 12 in all), stacked them on top of each other, drilled down into all 3 layers, and then put bamboo stakes into the holes to hold them together.
