I'm not really sure if it's too cold. I wouldn't think so, but I'm only speculatingI am stealing your method worm by worm.Pretty bad one huh? Is it too cold to have worms shipped to me?

Did I see someone talk about the first book at the top of the links page? I am going to look this guy up and see if he'll let me hang out with him next spring and summer.

$20 a pound for worms is a good price Gandalf. If I remember right I think I paid $25 per lb.

I was going to add that one should expect to pay a price for these wigglers.
I got a coupon for mine....but noticed that they would have cost me $45 if
I had had to pay for them. Wow!

Drum Porn:
30 gallon will fit inside 55 gallon. Air will flow in that gap, and that will provide air for the afterburners. More on that later, but thought I'd post some pics.
I thought that bolt on the 30 gallon drum was crazy heavy duty!
Thanks again Mr B! and you too St0w!

You all enjoyed the Agaricus blazei-merrill, so I thought that I would post these here...
I was checking an outdoor garden/mushroom bed (much like your buried logs are Mad...
...but with colonized sawdust blocks instead of plain wood) when I found that an amazing
flush of Gymnopilus purpuratus.:
I moved the cluster to take this shot:
It is really too bad that I did not catch these early...the spore color is lovely,
but the purpuratus is an amazingly colored mushroom. You can begin to see
the coloration (though thoroughly aged) on the un-spored cap:
Take care all,
JD
P.S. Yes, these are ethenogenic, but I have never tried them.

http://www.richsoil.com/hugelkultur/ Not sure how fast we'd want the logs to break down. They have to break down somewhat to become super sponges, but if they complete the breakdown, some of the goal (water supply) is reduced. Then again, the humus created ain't shabby

I would think also. Really looking forward to getting them going.
I suppose I should optimize the pile so the the mushrooms can work on the entire pile. Like a truckload of wood chips is a big pyramid and it seems like the mushrooms wouldn't be working that deep into a pile.
