urge to herd Posted May 3, 2005 Report Share Posted May 3, 2005 Well, this is a sort of livestock management question. I've got a small back yard, mostly shaded, and need what area we have for the dogs. I really miss composting my kitchen and yard waste - hate just throwing it in the trash. Does anyone know anything about worm composting? I'm assuming worms would take up a smaller space than a regular compost heap. And I tried one of those drum things, didn't work for me. I'm really much more the type to drop it all in a heap, turn it maybe once a month and then get some great dirt from it down the road. We're a household of 2 adults and 5 critters. I'm wondering if worm composting would be able to handle the amounts of kitchen waste we produce. And, if the worms are fussy at all. Keeing the pile moist I could handle, checking ph and keeping the nitrogen ratio in balance I could not do well. Thanks in advance!

urge to herd Posted May 3, 2005 Author Report Share Posted May 3, 2005 My gosh, Mizitiki, that's the absolute gold mine of information! Thanks so much for that link - off to read some more. Any other responses will still be read and appreciated. Oh, and I went straight to Vermicomposting Dog Poop topic. Am I predictable or what? I figure if you can compost a sheep, ya otta be able to compost some dog poop. Ruth Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
