Thanks and yes I did for a minute

Bruce

Let me start with actually there are two types of harvesters one with the sander and one trommel type. If you were following the posts you would have known this as well as the difficulties as well as unsafe issues I came across with the shaker using the sander for a motor to drive the machine..

Secondly for a person to imply another may have too much time on there hands allow me to elaborate on on my day! First my day started at 12:30 AM on the 26th and double sifted over 1,000 pounds of worm castings as well as reset numerous worm bins and then set numerous bins for hatching cocoons with more to do tomorrow..

Once the sun came up I also played with my dog numerous times during the day with her Frisbee and rope as she is actually a border collie/red healer mix… anyone knowing of this mix knows they require a lot of attention and running time… on two acres of land…I have to wait for the sun to come up as I lost one last year to coyotes that are prevalent in this area…

I also have eight new rabbits this week hence I built and hung a new larger cage today to support her and her 8 young ones as well as adjusted a heat lamp since we are getting cooler again.

I went to the grocery store… Also went to the gas station to purchase ten gallons of diesel for the one controlled building for the worms and filled the tank.

I spent almost two hours on a new book I am writing which will be a hard copy when eventually done.

I also received numerous calls today for business as well as family and friends… Exceptional high call volume due to it is my birthday today… Blew out the birthday candles on the cake… and yet to have a piece of cake…. but am replying to your post at 8:30 PM, hence been awake and working for over 20 hours today which is typical since I average about 4 hours of sleep per day 7 days a week.

So please follow the posts and do not imply someone has too much time on their hands when they work 120 to 140 hours per week giving free information on results from their testings!

And that is only some of what I accomplished today…

So what did you do today????

Thanks & Happy New Year.

I would personally use whatever the bedding material is made up of that the cocoons were laid in. Believe it or not this can make a difference in the hatch rates.

We usually count on some dieing off during the eight months it takes to grow out the Africans… guess none or not many were lost in the buckets used to send your worms Normally I would not count on that many extras, however it is a good sign….

Thanks

By keeping the worm bin a little dryer can help, especially on top. Top feeding will attract more critters than mixing food in. Also the use of food grade DE can help reduce and or eliminate certain pests.
