Trained veg plants first thing this morning. I gave up on the manifolding experiment. The growth didn't fit my schedules and my regular plants I let grow out, then bend and tie down, are out pacing them with more tops. I can't see the end results being worth what looks like would be 2-3 weeks more veg to get the same vegetative mass. Went outside to move wood, i still have, well had, 4 big piles of oak that I cut up from this past winter. I started collecting worms for a worm bin I've had for like 6 months now while I moved it. I also made a worm grunting stick out of a couple branches and this shit actually worked, I drove a couple dozen worms out from under each pile after picking up the ones I could see. It's a notched stick you jamb in the ground and rub with another stick

It's dusk out so I'm going to go grunt up some worms.

When I was a kid my grandpa used to do the worm thing with a 1x steak drove in the ground, he would use a old handsaw or a cinder block both worked very well. He only used this technique to get long johns or blue nose worms.

I like the saw idea and 1x idea, i have an old worn out bow saw that'd probably work well and the stick I made is kinda short and doesn't really vibrate the ground too far out. The second outing went pretty good, though. It's pretty cool, do it for 10-20 seconds and the red wigglers come out, keep going another 10-20 seconds and the earthworms start coming out. I hit one old pile of leaves and about 2 dozen wigglers came flying right out. I won't be surprised to have a couple hundred worms by the end of the week.

I do construction, and when i remodel a bath I repurpose the tubs into compost beds, to which I add spent goat hay, leaves, grass clippings and various other stuff. The worms get in there and break it down so fast, I never have to look for worms to fish. Right now I have three regular tubs a big round garden tub and a corner garden tub, all ready to go, I loaded up in February, and I need to empty and reload.

Still haven't smoked, not even a drag, thought you guys would get bored hearing about it every day.
know it might be hard to believe at the moment, but there'll be a day when you're over it. you'll have to be close to someone who smokes, and they'll stink so much you'll just want to get away from them, and you'll realize you don't have any desire anymore...just hang on

It's the smell of the smoke & ashtray breath that repulses me.

Yech, can't imagine that I did that for so long.
