They are great for outside composting but not so great in a house. I have outside composting areas as well but with the wigglers I can avoid having to bundle up and traipse through snow to get to them.<br /><br />I guess I am preaching to the converted I don't have any formal training, just a thirst for knowledge and interest in so many things combined with a love of all creatures great and small.down to earthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04676036214598474017noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-246312212925191260.post-77306625277188217552014-03-10T10:17:42.652-04:002014-03-10T10:17:42.652-04:00Awesome, I compost all my peels, egg shells and co...Awesome, I compost all my peels, egg shells and coffee grinds and tea leaves, I didn't know that wriggles didn't like onions, garlic and broccoli. I'll be looking into worm composting soon. <br />I have a Master Composter certificate from our City in June 2000. They also showed us how to worm compost and somehow life got so busy and I didn't perused that interest.<br /><br />Thanks for the information. <br />JBJuliahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03423754263165266554noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-246312212925191260.post-60290208987979582092012-03-15T11:28:41.018-04:002012-03-15T11:28:41.018-04:00Oops.

Last year I ventured down that Ave. But I have used a lot of plants that only need the top 12" of amended soil and so far so good. Am using a lot of smaller perenials. Don't know about this year yet, will let you know.<br /><br />Thanks for the garden chuckles.....jJoycehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16889084875449497363noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-246312212925191260.post-35524711933836837632011-02-27T08:40:26.363-05:002011-02-27T08:40:26.363-05:00Hah - you give me too much credit - heck, I'm ...Hah - you give me too much credit - heck, I'm still learning all this stuff too but I thank you for the kind words. :-)Doughttp://www.gardening-tips-perennials.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-246312212925191260.post-1311207200629046672010-06-23T09:54:05.295-04:002010-06-23T09:54:05.295-04:00Thanks Jane for sharing this great entry into your...Thanks Jane for sharing this great entry into your blog. I'm so with you on the missionaries( not all mind you) that go into to these places and totally change these people, their ways that have survived centuries without us. The earth talks to all people in her own way and I think we need to understand that part first before trying to change others. Why do we feel we have to FIX everything!!!! Leave these people to their traditional ways and their beliefs. Sorry for babbling it just makes me so mad!<br />Oh yeah, I'm glad you are able to preserve your great memories!!!Joycehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16889084875449497363noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-246312212925191260.post-71915156111423109602010-06-20T12:06:49.718-04:002010-06-20T12:06:49.718-04:00Hi Jane--So glad your back it seems like forever s...Hi Jane--So glad your back it seems like forever since we spoke.
