Worm Compost

Worm compost or also called vermicompost, vermicast, worm castings, worm humus or worm manure is an effective and efficient source of nutrients for the garden. Making your own can be a rewarding form of recycling and composting and an educational experience for yourself and your children, if you have any.

Worms eat organic vegetable matter, defecate worm castings, and produce more worms. This is a simple fact of nature. In fact they are low on the protein food chain and hence produce a lot of worms. Once you start worm composting, you will have plenty of livestock to continue the process. Red wriggler worms are the standard for composting and can easily be bought form garden outlets or specialists on the web. One pound is sufficient to start.

Worms thrive in the out of doors in the upper layer of the soil. A worm bin needs to duplicate that environment with material to live in, enough moisture for healthy living, and plenty of food. The bin is perhaps easiest made from a plastic tub about a foot deep. Drill a few drainage holes in the bottom and some others on the sides for air. There is no need to worry about the worms leaving if good conditions are maintained for them. Besides which, they do not like the light and prefer to stay in the dark bin.

Bedding should be organic in nature since the worms will gradually eat it. Shredded newspaper works well as does sawdust or ground leaves. Avoid the colored news flyers and stay with the daily black and white newsprint. Get it as moist as a wrung out sponge and fluff it up in the bin, about ten inches deep. A couple of handfuls of good soil or sand will add some roughage for the animals. Add the worms, having weighed them or knowing the weight from purchasing.

Food is best given by weight. Kitchen vegetable scraps can at first be given at the rate of one half the weight of the worms per day. Just layer it over the bedding and lay a piece of newspaper over the top to keep out the light. When the food disappears, add more. Some growers report that a pound of worms will start to east a pound of food withing two weeks of starting the bin.

Keep an eye on the bedding. When it has all turned into worm castings it is time to remove the worms and change the bedding. It is easiest to turn the bin over onto a tarp or plastic sheet and allow the light to drive the worms to the center of the pile as you gently remove the outer castings. Place the ball of worms into a freshly prepared bin. The castings are a rich compost. The worms may be divided into separate bins if it looks like there are too many for one. Worm composting is an effective way to deal with kitchen waste while making great compost for the garden.

Darrell Feltmate is an avid gardener who has been composting and gardening for over 25 years with gardens up to 1/2 acre and compost piles for each. His composting site may be found at Compost Central. You can be a master composter in no time at all.

Much of his compost uses wood shavings from his wood turning hobby. The site for wood turning may be found at Around the Woods.

Outdoor Barbecue Grills - A Choice With Precaution

The most popular form of entertaining a gathering seems to be outdoor barbecue. Basically there are two types of grill for the choice of a barbecue chef. This includes gas barbecue grill and charcoal barbecue grill. The gas barbecue grill is quite expensive but it is convenient to use. Most of the gas grills are easy to assemble and also simple to operate and easy to clean.

The taste of the food prepared using the charcoal grills will be better than that prepared using gas grills. The reason is that the gas grill can not give the smoky flavor to the food which is produced by the charcoal grills. If you want to cook in a bulk the gas grill will be convenient.

The charcoal grills will be a better option for cooking less quantity of food and it is easy to transfer too. The charcoal grills are less expensive as well. There are some disadvantages for charcoal grills. In a rainy day it will be difficult to light the grills and also to keep it lit till the end of cooking. After igniting the grills one has to wait till the flames die out and the coals are hot.

The food may get burnt easily soon since it is difficult to control the heat. The charcoal has to get cooled down completely before cleaning the grills. This may take hours and one will have to wait till that. When charcoal grill is used grease, ash and charcoal will be formed. Removal of these ashes for cleaning the grill can be messy. After each use the coal has to be disposed.

Gas grills are easy to ignite. The heat of the grill can be controlled easily, so there is no need of worrying about burning of the food. The gas grills may have more than one burner which can be operated independently. This helps in simultaneous cooking of different food stuffs which require different cooking temperatures. Another main advantage is of cleaning with less toil.

The selection of gas grills can be done based on the size and shape of the grill. The main drawback of the gas grill is that the smoky flavor is not obtained in this. Comparatively the gas grill is costly. It requires more space also since it is bigger than the charcoal grills.

Points to be considered to make effective use of out door barbecue are:

1) Check whether there is adequate fuel.

2) Charcoal should be stored in a dry place.

3) The cooking time and fuel used will be more when outdoor barbecue will be in cold or gusty weather.

4) Place barbecue in a direction of the wind away from the crowd.

5) Spray some vegetable oil over the grill before lighting it.

6) Small pieces can be placed in skewers.

7) All the things needed for grilling should be assembled in a tray before starting. This includes the tools, utensils and raw ingredients.

8) If the outdoor barbecue is lit once, do not leave it unattended.
