Like everything you say about the worm farm but there are better sources for worms than uncle jims. He is known to not give the correct number of worms for the money. Also consider European night crawlers as they are good soil/ compost worms. Here are two really good sites if you want to read up on vermicomposting.

I've ordered from Uncle Jims a couple times and have never been disapointed with anything about the transaction. I didn't physically count the worms (does anyone do that??) so I can't say if I was shorted any, but for $30 I probably wouldn't be upset if I only got 1,700 worms instead of 2,000. I have also used a local company, which I have been happy with as well. Link below for anyone in Michigan:

I see that you are in Michigan, probably not an issue there, but I felt that it was worth noting, and i'm 99% sure, so don't quote me,i coulda swore I remember reading that to keep them alive they need the cold (fridge) so if you live in a hot climate the european night crawlers may die if it gets too hot. The red worms are the best, for California, anyways.
course your post doesn't specify if that's what you are referring to...

Shut Up! You have worm bins???

Dang girl... You got it going on! Let me see... Grows weed, into high quality genetics, hot... Your only draw back that I can see is you huge noggin...;-) But I could probably get past it... You do have worm bins after all...

So tell me about your worm bins...

Cool... Then I will continue to update as I update on Sugar Punch.

The only update on Anesthesia is that one of the little ones is struggling and I may loose her and the twin still has not been able to rid herself of her shell helmet. I am keeping my fingers crossed... Lights come back on in a few minutes so I am anxious to see...

Has anyone tried mainlining the SP ? I am limited with horizontal space....I am roughy 20" d x 20" w.....I was hoping to squeeze 2 plants each in a 3 gallon pot into the space....I never tried mainlining but thought it might be an option.....or perhaps I LST ?

Thoughts ?

hey Keizer, i was for sure the worms would elevate my hotness level enough that my big head wouldn't be an issue anymore! i'll keep working on it... :P

i've only had mine since Christmas, it was the whole package from Uncle Jim's--including the bins. I just put my second tier on a few days ago! I will be collecting the castings from the first tier as soon as the worms migrate up and out of the first one...i've never done it before so i am not sure how long it will take. i probably should have done the second tier several weeks ago, but have been too busy.

should i mention that after successfully splitting my two blood orange...a third bean popped last night? so...apparently i added a third bean at some point and now i have to split them again! :dunce: no more smoking right before i take out my bean collection and try to germ some again!

my sugar punch is doing great! i'll take another picture of her later and put it up.

maybe you should help your anesthesia along and remove the shell? i've done it a few times and ended up loosing their cotyledon leaves but survived. i think i have a pic of one:

spaaacecowboy-if you mainline, please share! i was going to let my SP go natural this time, just to see how she looks and get a feel for her but would love to see what you do if you decide to go that route! :cool:

I see what your trying to do, you sly, little, big headed temptress... Trying to seduce me with all of your sexy worm poop talk. I know what you're up to... But just because you have caught my eye doesn't mean you have won me over. I would still need to see the quality of your worm poop... ;) :-)

A third bean??? Naw, I think your big-headedness has given you the "Superpower of Fertility" and that you have the power to make things multiply just by touch... ;-) How awesome would that be... You would never have to clone anything. That's my theory at least... Congratulations on your successful separation. That's great! Now you get to do it again...

Glad to hear that your SP is doing well. Mine are anywhere from very healthy to not so great... Still nursing some scrawny stragglers along. :?

I have been wondering what to do about my Anesthesia with the shell helmet. I want to help her but every time I try to nudge the shell I feel like I am going to tear her apart. I need to go buy some tweezers to see if I can pull it off. The only thing I have available to me at the moment is needle-nose pliers and I think those are a bit much... Any advice?

Well my electrician is almost done... It has been quite an adventure tracking down all of the necessary stuff. Apparently we don't stock a wide variety of electrical supplies here in The Land of the Easily Amused. I've had to drive over 100 miles to get some of the stuff we need...

But what we lack in electrical supplies, we make up for in sunsets...

Not sure if you have seen this or not... It is Sannie's Sugar Punch grow video. It may help you decide.


Either way you go I would be very interested to see. But it looks like you will have to do something if you have limited overhead space...

keizersoze, nice sunset!! 8) at least you see a light at the end of your electric tunnel of problems there in the land of the easily confused! ;-)
if you're gonna try to do something with that anesthesia bean, you should do it soon; i'd go for it, you will lose it if you choose to do nothing, correct? i used a sharp scissor end and from where the stem was coming out, gently gave it a pull while holding the bean at the same time. ...i've done it about three times or so, and initially if there wasn't a give feeling to it--i tried again but did not use any more force, it was just to encourage separation, so i could come back a few hours later and try again, and it worked. there were more times that the initial try worked than having to come back to try again. lost the cotyledon leaves on at least two or three--but they all did survive. good luck! let me know how it turns out.

I never got a tracking number...I guess I chose regular shipping method...And I double checked it wasn't shipped out on the 6th, but rather the 4th...So it's been a full two weeks now...It only took just over a week to get to them.

It does seem a bit long, but I have had to deal with the USPS many times and you would be surprised at how slow the mail can be, especially if it requires a signature... I wouldn't give up hope just yet...

Finger crossed... :peace: :weed:
