Eight bucks a piece…which is what they charge for worm castings of that quality up here in WI. Slap a label on it and you’re in bizness!

What am I going to do with all that stuff?

I have a big case of Kansas envy, because:
A. I have a serious need to harvest multiple large bins right now, and my garage is feeling hot as hades–think of all that work in upper 90’s heat and Texas humidity
B. My bins are running pretty warm and there is NO WAY I could get them to 60 degrees, even indoors right now

I am going to have to come up with some serious thinking on how to cool things down–I am now a little big to be putting the frozen water bottles in each bin every day.

congrats on such beautiful stuff there, Mark. I bet if you put an ad up at the grocery, feed store, COOP, Craigslist, or paper–you’d get a quick call. I think I would enlist the natural entrepenuer in every 13 year old and give him a bonus for closing the deal on some worm fodder. Good luck!

This sounds like fodder for a SNL skit …makes you and your son laugh….are you ready for prime time TV? Returning to reality…a thread in the compost forum on similar vein … how to broach the subject…got lots of responses … when she got her nerve up, the manure-owner practically fell on her neck and kissed her in gratitude…..those big animals create a lot of ‘stuff’.

That is a good idea but, I practiced the conversation with my 13 year old son and we could not stop laughing.

I would just ask the guy for his buffalo chips. Maybe you could barter for some fishin worms.
