Hi All,
Well I am in China on business, and I get an e-mail from my wife saying that the worms my son & I are growing stink!!!
After a few phone calls & questioning my son, he removes a few of the worms and we have figured that the smell is from the medium the worms are in.
We are growing them in a soil/peat mixture. We add veggies & friuts like zucinni, squash, carrots, spinich, apple cores, watermellon, cantalope, banna peals and a whole other assortment of greens to the mix. Plus fish food & newspapers.
Question:
What are we doing wrong?
Is there some way to deal with this or is this just the natural process of the worms creating compost?
Is there another growing medium that would not smell? Or is it the worms????
Mike Shrom, feel free to jump in here, I don't remember your worm culture being "stinky", whats your secret?
Thanks,Ed
