My SOLO plant turned out to be male and is now worm food. It sucks but I enjoyed playing along.

I got my 2nd bin made but didn’t find a single worm in the wild. I’ve got the bedding in and will buy some wigglers next week from the local bait shop.

Dam best plant I had was a boy and now it’s wormfood. Crap luck on the farm.

@B_the_s , ha, I’ve got no illusions about winning anything unless there’s a “the poor guy tried” category. I’m just having fun and enjoying all the pics.

My outdoor solo adventure is nowhere close to what you guys have and it won’t finish by 9/31. These pics posted above are awesome.

I haven’t seen any problems but thanks for the info. I’m going got look into that to be sure in the morning. I used it in bottomless pots outdoors and as a top dressing.

All seems to be going smooth and I’ve had to do very little in terms of work since making the bin. I’ve put in a little moist compost and banana peels.

Nice pics as always. My cats got into a tiff today because I was petting one and the other got jealous. My best plant showed to be a dang male today. If it weren’t for bad luck..........

I love to see happy pets. And plants.

I tried on one plant and it snapped.(it was already 3ft) I figured it was dead but within 48 hrs, the thing stood right back up. But yea, training works from what I’ve seen. I myself don’t train, clip, defoliate, or anything. I’m lazy I guess.

True. I had some peppers and tomatoes, sunflowers too, that died back last year while I had plants still finishing the flower.

@Diesel0889 , me and the worms are with you on keeping this thread going. You better be careful as those monster plants might roll your ass up and smoke you. :D

I’ve got a cheapo water PH meter that I’ve never removed from the box. I see these soil type meters that are supposed to give NPK readings as well but I don’t know how trustworthy they are.

I really want to get a soil meter but I know they are expensive.

You are selling yourself a bit short, we don’t need to be experts to share our experiences. I’m fairly new to the game myself and I’ve found several of your points helpful.

I’d like to try some aloe from seed, I have a couple of regular aloe plants going.

I thought a regular Earthbox held more that 1 ft of soil, I have the EB jr that holds 1 ft.

I’m going to have to research these as I’m in the south, not as far as Bama but still south.

If I can muster the energy and will, I’m going to put another bin together today. It’s super hot down here in da south.

So far, I’ve been getting mine “in the wild” and at a local bait store. I’m lucky to have a place out back that holds a lot of worms and I started tossing scraps and such around. I’ve got a ditch that will produce worms with each dig and I get a lot of leaf mold from that area.
