Bedding mix - 2008/07/18 20:15
I just concocted an eight cubit foot mix with about2.5 cu ft peat moss, 2.5 cu ft top soil, 2 cut ft shredded paper and 1 of rabbit manure. How does this sound to you guys? As I need to split a bed of African nightcrawlers I'm going to put in about 8o this evening and see what the result is before filling it full of worms. All of that mix is going into a 2'x4'x12" wooden bin that I made and waxed today. Underneath that one is a 2'x3'x12" with a little shelf added to finish out the 4'.
My 10 yr. old nephew who is the outdoorsman is having a blast with the paper shreddder. Thanks to him we've a couple of lawn and leaf bags packed so tight they won't hold anymore.
I think I see a compost pile in the making here in a couple of days with grass clipping, rabbit manure and shreeded paper for starters. Then it can go into the bins. As long as he has a promise of free fish bait he's up for helping.
