Saving hierloom plants

Dec 1,2008
Ill get this one of these days. This is my second blog. I promised you how to save heirloom seeds and here we go.
Lets use tomatoes for an example. Make a small worm bin out of plastic or wood, add some bedding and 100 worms or so. Then feed the worms a ripe tomato or two, when the tomato has been eaten by the worms. Put the worms back in there original bin. Take and dry out the castings and save till next spring. Start a small flat inside add the castings and MOISTEN, keep moistened till the tomatoes start to sprout. Those are your heirloom tomatoes. Treat as you would any seedling. Thats it

Red Worms and Euro Nightcrawlers

Monday Dec. 1

My first Blog. It snowed for the first time today in Maine. The beginning of a long cold winter. Christmas is right around the corner.
I raise and sell worms in my retired years and I enjoy it. Raising worms makes me feel like Im helping the enviroment. I dont think people realize what worms can do. Worms will eat all your garbage and turn it into valuable castings ( black gold ). They eat things like vegetables, pasta, fruit, crushed eggshells, newspaper, cardboard, coffee grounds, tea bags, anything but diary products and meat. Doing this helps reduce the landfill and saves us money by reducing having to buy garbage bags and paying to have your garbage hauled away.
Well thats enough for today,I dont want to bore you. If you enjoyed this and want to learn more about vermincomposting follow this blog.
