Some'll try to squirm through top of bin, and most will turn to mush. Very unpleasant smell.Just fed my worms. Not sure they are happy about the heat. I may just let them go in the garden.

Thans stowOthers that do SST's freeze the remains in an ice cube tray. Just measure how much you have which makes x amount of cubes and plunk the appropriate amount of cubes in to your bucket of warmish water when you want to use it again.

Can you comment on property loss with freezing? Im trying to look online at what temperatures enzymes and hormones stay active but its proving difficult.
Thanks again
Im also curious when do you guys stop molasseing the water in flower? Ive always stopped 2 weeks before harvest though i dont think thered be any harm in giving it right til the end and perhaps give the flowers an extra push weightwise?

Thanks Hyroot, i start molasseing around the same time as you every seond watering. I was thinking of trying until the very last watering.
On another note, my country doesnt sell alfalfa meal anywhere, In the past ive ordered it from abroad howver i have seen huge bails of the stuff for sale at a ridiculous price like 5 euro for a 30 kg bail. Though its not ground to a meal. Would you attempt to mealify it? or the hassle would be too big and outcome not fine enough?
To be honest since switching to organics i started doing only 1 week plain water at the end instead of 2 or 3. I get where you are coming from and it makes sense, since in this type of system plants fetches what it needs as it needs it and no salts nor chemicals are present in the medium hence there is nothing harmful the plant could retain in its plant material. Suppose near the end of its life plant stops 'feeding' on its own the last days? I remember headtreep mentioning senescence, the study of discoluring near end of life, i need to look more into that. Kinda trippy.IMO you can use whatever you wish right up until you chop. Particularly if you're recycling the soil. Whatever you're using (nutrient teas, fish hydrolysate, etc) will be tied up in your soil and available to the next plant you plunk in there. I don't really buy the theory that its beneficial to stop feeding (flushing) the plant weeks before harvest.
I really like adding alfalfa to the soil. feel it gives a lasting nitrogen source and i like the consistency it gives to the soil too. Im one of those guys who youd have to threaten to death top change my mulch, i just love old weed leaves for mulch, plus i think a plants own leafy material would be 'pre tought' (by the creator or whomever) to be the best mulch, im really high though an i like how it looks with the old leaves.What about using it as a mulch? I've seen others do it. Not sure how much of it, or how quickly it would become bio available though??
I believe if you got a bail of alfalfa you would want to break some off the bail, keep the bail covered and dry. Take the section you broke of wet it good on top of some soil and expose it to air and warm keep covered lightly to increase heat (decomposition) once quickly composted this way you can use that material to top dress and water with.What about using it as a mulch?

spider bunny spider bunnyNope barley grass for the rabit, i did just drop a bunch Bermuda grass to see how it grows. Bahia is the one that attracts or have mycho?
And no, u cant touch my bunny red.
How big of a worm bin would I need to supply enough castings for a 4x4 bed?
And how often does one harvest castings?
Thanks in advance
