So who here is growing in true organic living soil?

Sad, but I was reading in a larger collection of Vermicompost studies, and she's mentioned often and fondly by her peers.

$20 a pound for worms is a good price Gandalf. If I remember right I think I paid $25 per lb.

I was going to add that one should expect to pay a price for these wigglers.

I got a coupon for mine....but noticed that they would have cost me $45 if
I had had to pay for them. Wow!

There were TONS of them when I dumped them into the lawn this spring. Seems like a waste on a lawn, but I was looking to sell the place so a green lawn is a +

30 gallon will fit inside 55 gallon. Air will flow in that gap, and that will provide air for the afterburners. More on that later, but thought I'd post some pics.

I thought that bolt on the 30 gallon drum was crazy heavy duty!

Thanks again Mr B! and you too St0w!
 
You all enjoyed the Agaricus blazei-merrill, so I thought that I would post these here...

I was checking an outdoor garden/mushroom bed (much like your buried logs are Mad...
...but with colonized sawdust blocks instead of plain wood) when I found that an amazing
flush of Gymnopilus purpuratus.:

I moved the cluster to take this shot:

It is really too bad that I did not catch these early...the spore color is lovely,
but the purpuratus is an amazingly colored mushroom. You can begin to see
the coloration (though thoroughly aged) on the un-spored cap:

Take care all,

P.S. Yes, these are ethenogenic, but I have never tried them.
 
Really? Ha! Trippy Schrooms? And I thought just having them edible was a big plus!!!

I'm super excited to start composting wood chips. Mountains of them.

So cool you have this depth of knowledge in this!!
 
If one were to build one of the Deutsche-Wood-Pile-Thingys then I would
definitely have already inoculated the logs.

I bet that this would accelerate the process of the wood becoming soil
by perhaps years.

Take care,

JD
 
I am betting that the action of wood loving fungi is what makes the
wood really get spongy. Just wondering....
 
I would think also. Really looking forward to getting them going.

I suppose I should optimize the pile so the the mushrooms can work on the entire pile. Like a truckload of wood chips is a big pyramid and it seems like the mushrooms wouldn't be working that deep into a pile.
