i considering planting in buckets around the trellis rather than the ground as these days the rain kinda freaking up the land and dont want to go through the effort to fix the land
I tried it with aloo an sweet potato an after 5 months got aloo grown in TT. Got abt 2 lbs from 1 bucket. I go try the cucumber but anywhere open to get seeds or plants? Also looking for carralie seeds/ plants.

I dunno the fascination with dragon fruit, the fruit itself is nothing to write home about.

No, those are indigenous to europe however we do have genera of epigeic litter worms, they're probably much less efficient than red wigglers however. You can import them though I guess.

They then tried local worms found in the garden but also found that they were not suited for vermicomposting as those worms tended to burrow in deeper soils.
So, they approached UWI to get the most suitable worms for vermicomposting and vermiculture. And have had good results since.
I read that online last week actually.
Anyhow, moral of that story is that I think vermicomposting here is not as easy as seen on YT as special types of worms are needed which may not necessarily be readily available in our normal gardens.meccalli wrote:timelapse wrote:For the nerds, do we have red wigglers here?

Soul Collector wrote:Pile should be 3x3 at least to really get things going in there.
First layer should be some sticks/small branches to keep things loose and aerated at the bottom.
Then add layers of carbon (dried leaves, cardboard like toilet paper rolls, used paper towels etc) back to back with a green layer (green grass cuttings, egg shells, coffee grounds kitchen vegetable scraps - keep cooked food like bones etc out cuz it will attract extra critters plus the smell. This green layer will be the nitrogen component.
Wet each layer with water but don't over do it.
Turn every week or however often you'd like (It's according to how fast you want the compost really), while deciding if to add a few more layers as the pile drops. Add water to each layer once again.
Turning the pile will allow more air to get in there to aid the decomposition process.

I read online that urine is good to get bacteria going. Anyone tried that? I told wifey I'd go take a leak on it and got a hard watch and roll up eye.

Mb if I was sounding ah how there. Just happy to see you guys trying to compost so just wanna help as much as I know how to.
And yeah, you can take a leak on the pile. That's high in nitrogen and can help jump start things. If you've added a lot of greens already then there's no need to add urine. Some people take their first piss of the day, dilute it with water and fertilize using that.
Never had problems with crapaud. Had a massive firetruck centipede the first batch I did though.
edit - the forum really censors the word "f-a-w-k-i-n" ?
