WORM BINS:
What you need to know before you buy.


Worms bins are wonderful for your garden and fun to use too. It takes a couple of months to establish a decent supply of castings, so if you get started now, you can utilize the castings in your summer garden.
 
Choose a Worm Bin.  First you will need to decide on a worm bin. We offer two styles of worm bins: The Worm Factory and the Can-O-Worms. Both systems perform well, so it really comes down to capacity and size when choosing between the two styles of worm bins. The Can-O-Worms has bigger capacity trays, but it takes up a 19.5" circular space. The Worm Factory is more compact at 15.75" square (the Worm Factory is also available in an 18" square design called the Worm Factory 360).
 
Find a Good Location. Why does size matter? Well, chances are, this bin is going to be somewhere in your home or in the garage at least part of the year. I found out the hard way that the worms can't be left outside in extreme heat (the 90's). Unfortunately, I lost all my worms.Worm Factory 360 The worms also are not very productive when it gets cold. So it's best to find a discrete area in your house or garage to keep the bin. There is no odor, the bins are attractive, and having them nearby actually is quite convenient when dumping your food scraps.
 
Ordering Your Redworms.  When you order your worm factory and worms (red worms only) at the same time, be sure to request that the worms be shipped about a week later than the worm bin. This way you can get the bin assembled and the bedding ready before the worms arrive. If you forget, don't worry, the worms can survive quite nicely in the shipping packaging for a couple weeks - especially this time of year.

Eco-friendly Pots
Skip transplanting -- use biodegradable pots! 
 Cow Pots
Do something good for the environment while saving yourself the work and your plants the stress of transplanting. 
 
When you plant your seedlings in biodegradable pots, the roots grow right through the pot sides, creating a vigorous, non-bound root system that spreads out evenly and uniformly. 
 
The process of moving your plants from a small pot into a larger one or straight into the ground can damage your plants' delicate roots. This prevents the roots from absorbing water from the soil or compost properly, Dot Potshalting the plants' growth for up to three weeks. If their roots are left undisturbed, your plants will get off to a healthier start with faster growth and bigger yields. When planted in biodegradable pots, you do not have to re-pot the plant when transplanting, just pop the pot into the planting hole.
 
Recommended biodegradable pot options:
 
Dot Pots are the first biodegradable pot to get the OMRI (organic materials review institute) stamp of approval. Dot pots are composed of 80% spruce wood fibers and 20% peat moss - all from sustainable resources. They are very affordable at only $5.95 for 22 pots!
 
 
Cow Pots have the advantage of a built in fertilizer as they decompose. The rich cow manure helps to nourish your plant and also attracts earth worms that will aid in aerating the soil. Cow Pots are all-natural and are specially processed. They are safe and have no odor.
