Worm Castings

Here is what worm castings or worm poop will do for your flowers!  These sit in direct sunlight everyday and are still very hearty plants.  Before we started using worm castings in these planters they would dry out too fast and the plants would die.  The worm castings are holding the moisture and sustaining the plants throughout the day.  Plus they are growing so big due to the natural fertilizer in the worm castings.

If you would like some worm castings “worm poop” let me know I might be able to help you out.

Grow Algae, Create BioDiesel, Feed the Worms

I had the idea not too long ago to combine the growing of algae in a bioreactor. Then you can harvest the algae and run it through a press and squeeze out the oil to make biodiesel fuel. Now most systems like this. The left over biomass or algae cakes are burned and the CO2 is pumped back into the algae bioreactor. I want to do something a little different and feed the algae cakes to my hordes of biomass eating red worms. This mass of worms would love to devour the algae cakes that are left over from the fuel making process. The byproduct of the the worms eating algae and the worm castings themselves would create the perfect organic soil fertilizer. Now don’t go out and steal my idea you just might save the planet and have a great looking vegetable garden also. Currently my worms are pretty much on a paper/banana diet so they might enjoy a change in diet.

Have any alternative fuel or composting ideas?
