@supaflywilkins. Perhaps you haven’t, but David Holmgren, Bill Mollison et
al, who have lived the simple life for more than 30 years both have a use
for the PC. It is a tool by which they spread the movement. While I
wouldn’t mind shedding the technology, I find it a useful tool for
gardening info. It is very easy to find an answer on the web. As Lawton
says, we are not totally exclusive from technology but we find appropiate
uses for technology. Even my local Buddhist Centre uses PC’s.

@bihforlife123 Yes worms mate and produce cocoons which will produce
numerous young depending on the conditions in the bin. Worm usually mate
with each other but if there are no other worms they are capable of
producing cocoons by themselves as each worm has both male and female
capabilities
@pitbull0592 Worms can stay in material that looks ready to harvest and
will continue to eat. If you separated your material you would be surprised
how much compost is still there. However, the population will decline
because the conditions will not be ideal.
How do i know when its time to seperate my worms from compost? And how do i
bag it and keep it fresh?

Question:Do worms mate,and if they do how do they get more worms when they
mate,as in babies.is it a cocoon or i actually heard when a worm gets big
it breaks itself in half and then so on
@saacbe How are your worms doing? More information would help me determine
if you are actually doing something wrong. The worms can be turned as often
as you like. Everyday is too often but as much as once a week probably is
not depending on the conditions in the bin. The aim is to keep the bedding
material loose and aerated.
pretty good, thank you. how often do you have to turn the worms over???, I
have had worms, like for five months, I don´t know exactly how often I
should do it? I think some of them are sick, because they have fatter parts
in their bodies, I suposse I am doing something wrong. Are they going to
die? what can I do? Thank you
