I moved the table saw outside to deal with ripping 330 cm (10.8′) boards
I was disappointed how long it was taking to make compost — basically, three buckets’ worth in five years. So I started reading about worm composting, found a design that looked good, figured I’d order some worms — without remembering something.
So I built a little worm farm.
Removable hinged lid keeps rain outI transferred compost-in-progess from the barrel we’ve been using to the bottom bin. We’ll put fresh worm food in the upper tray until it’s full, then add the next. When the worms run out of food below, they’ll migrate upward, leaving the bottom bin empty of worms and full of wonderful worm castings!
I also built my first hydroponic unit.
The raised portion *should* allow enough room for the plants’ air roots, meaning I don’t need to oxygenate the water. We will see! Needs a plastic lining.
I started making compost tea.
And I discovered that my first attempt to sprout sunflower seeds wasn’t unsuccessful after all. They loved the non-composting compost barrel!
