Hey nostr:npub13gwdzauxe7prqdy0jddar4m64jxt8efhsude7dn8efyzxekc2cfsnavqfk I finally found that video snipped it and uploaded it, you were blissfully unaware what happened on that beach before you watched this 😁

I’d be freaked out inside, good share! #grownostr nostr:npub15879mltlln6k8jy32k6xvagmtqx3zhsndchcey8gjyectwldk88sq5kv0n

#grownostr I’d figure they shoot the dogs first.

Can’t wait for the pump so we can stop being humble and say told you so :).

But I just want to check a few things on Twitter :). All I’ve been thinking lately is that BTC makes all of your future decisions easier. That will have the biggest impact on your life compared to politics, etc.

#grownostr anyone following Peak Prosperity and the Trump shooting? Multiple shooters based on audio, interesting stuff… https://youtu.be/03AxTE7R5Cg?feature=shared

Yup, buried some logs from the forest in the second one, starting with some good fungi.

Success will breed adoption. If 60k is the floor it seems that the higher the price the greater the adoption. Self fulfilling prophecy?

#grownostr #garden 1 down, 1 to fill up. 5 yards of soil is a lot of trips with the wheelbarrow.

Yeah, seems a lot of crazy pictures get posted, love to have an automated image filter on everything.

Here's the 2nd part of #permaculture stacking functions with the effluent from the anerobic digester: The worm bin:

Right now it's set up to produce worms more than castings in that I'm keeping it very wet.

I have it in an unheated barn that is open to the outside.

I dump the anerobic digester effluent in every few days and also mist the bed with the mist heads attached to the white PVC pipe a few feet above the bed.

The bin is constructed of PVC pipe and a Waste Management Bagster. I got the idea from Meme's Worms on YouTube.

The 1/2" hardware cloth keeps the skunks out. Before I had that the skunks would come in to eat the worms.

Here are some worms uncovered by scratching the surface a bit. They are a mix of Red Wiggler and European Night Crawlers:

They were overwintered in this bin just by stacking 18" of leaves above them... the temperature in the compost didn't go below 55 degrees F even though it was 5-10 degrees outside for a few weeks straight.

In addition to manure, straw, compost, shredded cardboard and shredded notices from the IRS, they are fed a mix of ground birdseed, ground corn, azomite, and biochar, all finely ground:

I throw a couple of handfuls on every day or two:

The plan is to expand the worms in this bin to the other bins in the background and set up mist systems above them all, as well as a gravity fed effluent distribution system.

Once up and running, I've read you can harvest 5-6 lbs of worms per square foot per year. Right now a pound of worms online is going for $40 and in the spring will be around $65 or so. Each Bagster bin is ~32 square feet so you can do the math.

To achieve this though I need to invest in some better separating methods like a trommel of some sort. The beds are also way to wet for any sort of automated separation right now. Right now I'm in production mode to grow out to the rest of the beds.

Mine is just a 20 gallon garbage can with holes on the top. Kitchen scraps, coffee grounds, and biochar make up the entire bin. Hoping mine survive the summer in Texas in the garage :)
