Who is farming worms? What method do you use? What bedding? What do you feed them?

Tell me everything.

    Can’t argue with any of that. Sounds like you and the worms doing great!

    The consistent habitat is something I’ve never thought about. I do mix castings from one side to the new side in amongst the new bedding to accelerate the bacterial load and help the process of breakdown, I always imagined the biochar helps with that too on the microscopic level. I suppose a lot of worms hang out in weird places in my farm as well; down below in the channeling that’s been created on the wood base, on the sides, on the lip etc.

    Make sure you add [email protected] like @[email protected] said. At some point in the future, who knows where the niche stuff will go once the community fills up.

      Yeah I saw the composting community and subbed right away! I only joined Lemmy yesterday, so still getting my bearings, but it’s been so nice to hunt for all these small niche communities.

        I just checked and it’s still reading 2 subscribers. Wonder how long it takes to update.

        A lot to learn for all of us… Have fun with it all!

          Interesting: on slrpnk.net (so where the community lives) I see ‘3 users’ and a whopping ‘17 subscribers’. On lemmy.ml, the community shows ‘3 users’ but only ‘2 subscribers’. And it doesn’t seem that being a mod gives you any more numbers or insights whatsoever.

            Not that I’d bother to ask the question but I’m sure one day we will figure that out. Is it subscribers from your own personal instance that shows, like 2 from Lemmy.ml and 2 from beehaw?
