Wow, finally a day off. Yesterday I was gone most of the day and Chuck had Makiya out helping him. They were able to get all the left over bedding from the harvest back into the beds into the new shed, they also cut pvc pipe in half and attached it to the wood stands to make gutters for the worm tea that runs out the bottom of the beds after we water. The tea is collected into buckets and then when those are full we dump them into big garbage cans to store the tea. When it's time for the farmer's market we bottle the tea and sell it. It's a great source of nutrients, as well as, a great pesticide.
Athough it rained pretty hard yesterday, it didn't seem as muddy out there as it did the day before. That was nice, because when our dirt (which is really red clay) gets wet you sink up to your ankles!
We got a call yesterday from one of our regular customers. He's ready for his annual 200 lbs. He raises organic tomatoes and uses our castings for starting his plants in his green house. The first year he used our castings, his starts were ready for planting way earlier than normal. He was thrilled with our product. Here is an article about his farm. (The link at the bottom to his website doesn't work.)
