Hey, does anyone on the Big Island (Hawaii) need Indian Blue worms for their vermicomposting bins? I need to separate the worms and castings this weekend and would like to share the wealth, depending on how much extra I have. I'll probably have at least half a pound of worms to share. Only request I make is that when yours reproduce that you share your extras with others so they can start their own bin. If you want the worms, I'll be happy to help you start your own bin!

Plumpness!

Vermicomposting has a lot of benefits! Some tomato plants came up in my worm bin and I transplanted them in a little 12 in planter with 6 inches of soil ... and these are what I got! I've been fertilizing the plant with worm castings and O-M-G (!), the plants has burgeoned into a luscious bush dripping with large, plump tomatoes! At last count, there are over 50 tomatoes and I've already picked a dozen! It is still growing in the little pot and despite what I thought, it hasn't rooted below the pot. All its roots are getting the nutrients from the soil and castings and I've been watering it everyday since we haven't had a good rain for weeks. I love eating my fish tacos with tomatoes still warm from the sun!
