Yesterday got busy making a small wicking worm bed for my male plants that I separate from the females to control pollination just one branch per female.
Old ice chest with some broken pipe and nursery cloth and some cotton wicks. Cheap, fast and now water every few weeks and let the worms take over🤙

I have an old cooler that I could do this with. Do you have anything I could read showing me the mechanism by which it works? Is it intended to collect worms from the ground? Or do you have to introduce them to it? I understand worms are sensitive to temperature and it’s pretty easy to cook them off in compost etc.
This spring will be addressing some things that are lacking in my yard stack, like a couple of Johnson-Su bioreactors and a biochar barrel. My progress on these things on my little intown lot has been severely impeded by the amount of time I’m spending in the fiat mine every week.
Imagine if we were free to put more than 10% of our labor and creativity in a week into our own enterprises.
