Things in the earth are not improving

Britain’s earthworms are dying and we need to act now

https://journals.plos.org/plosone/article?id=10.1371/journal.pone.0282069

To go with the insects, birds, mammals and fish we are happily removing from the environment, this is serious as well.

Imagine big monsters dancing above your room, with a hellish loud tapeditap. You don't know if your room will collapse. Would you flee outside?

#Worms do so and therefore people in the UK dance for counting them: https://www.theguardian.com/environment/article/2024/may/07/uk-public-dance-worm-charming-soil-association

kratoz29,

@OutofPrintArchive it has been ages since I played a Worms game, I hardly doubt this is the game I should try after a long time far from the franchise though.

If anyone has suggestions of which game should be the best nowadays I'm all ears 😁

I've had ear worms, but no brain worms as far as I know.

Day 3 of my quest to separate the worms from their castings and retire one bin of our worm farm. I have been following helpful advice from @treevan and @earthmothering9. This morning I bought a cheap sieve and have been pouring rain water through the castings to separate the worms and put them in the other tray.

To my annoyance I found that there was a bit of shredded plastic amongst the shredded paper we had been feeding the worms. I have been painstakingly fishing the plastic out as well as the worms.

I will get there! I am being slow and nitpicking doing this but that is my nature and it is better to get those personal qualities out on the weekend and in solitude rather than annoy people at work with them.

Aw man, I'm bummed that I seem to have discovered a "jumping worm" or "crazy worm" crawling out of my yard. They're very damaging to forest ecosystems, even worse than the previously introduced European earthworms: https://gridphilly.com/blog-home/2024/04/01/invasive-earthworms-threaten-forests-and-gardens-and-mitigation-has-proven-difficult/

I was planning to remove my non-native bushes from my yard and give them to a neighbor this weekend, but now I have to question doing that if it's possible that would help the #invasive #worms spread.

It is a public holiday here and peak gardening season. This morning I did a lot of work on our worm farm. I had retired the bottom bin 3 months ago and have been only feeding the top bin. We have a lot of worms and some migrated up. They have eaten a lot of stuff in the top bin including all the shredded paper I had put in there.

However, there are still heaps of worms in the bottom bin that are not migrating up. I was puzzled. What were they feeding on?

As I pulled worms out from the bottom bin by hand this morning (spent about an hour doing it), I felt solid material amongst the worm paste. There were still remnants of corn cobs in there. I also found a couple of partially digested tea bags. No wonder they are still happy there.

I've played a couple of rounds of #Worms on my #NintendoSwitch with another 5 friends and it's some of the best fun I've had in a while I gotta say.

Also a shout-out for #KarmaZoo although the main game mode is not playable locally. The party mode is quite fun still

‘Vital for looking after the soil’: fears as UK earthworm population declines - https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2024/apr/08/uk-earthworm-population-in-decline "Keystone species has potentially enormous effects on above-ground wildlife and ecosystem functioning" oh no, not the #worms too...

On the way to building my worm empire at work.
Second wormery is now installed (and used it as a how to workshop for anyone interested in how to set up a new wormery).
Especially good as they have no council food waste collection at work- so we’re managing to divert food waste from landfill & the methane production that would result from anaerobic breakdown there.
Lots of lovely worms and lovely people interested in setting up their own wormeries. Winning.

Feeding the worm farm. On the menu today food scraps, dried roses, weeds from the yard, and a lot of bedding.

Over winter the composting worms have processed so much waste, it never ceases to amaze me.

We have just for our household about 2 bins of 40 US gallons/150kg of really good worm casting that is ready to be harvested. I could have made those numbers bigger if we had more space.

What have you done for the climate today?

@compost fed our worms food scraps too!

I haven’t read any of the Dune books, I haven’t seen any of the movies, and all I know is that there’s something called “spice”and there are big worms in a desert.

Can I go into Dune 2 cold?

I’m tempting the local worms to investigate the worm box by adding some well fermented food scraps. I’ll check on the contents periodically.

A worm box buried in the ground with earth back filled around it. The box has a lid of semi circular wooden posts covered with a fading blue paint.

BroadforkForVictory, to gardening

I’ve added a worm box to the plot.

It’s been interesting to see the depth of good soil before the clay layer starts too. Being no dig I only get to see the top soil depth when I do a project like this. This area has probably been undisturbed for nearly a decade. I wish I’d measured the top soil depth before I started down the no dig route.

I’ll add a lid and then worms and feed them some food scraps regularly. The worms should be safe from predation and be able to escape into the soil away from any extremes of heat and cold.

I’ll add a layer of sand or grit at the bottom to improve the water infiltration as the worm box it is now sitting directly on the clay layer.

The worms may just leave for somewhere better but I’m hoping they’ll stay and provide lots of worm poo for the plot.

A wooden box with approximately 80 cm or 31 inch sides in a hole in the ground. The box is made from old pallet wood and offcuts with wire mesh around the sides to hopefully keep out any eager wildlife like badger or fox. The box will have a lid. Dendrobaena worms will be added together with regular additions of compostable materials and shredded cardboard for them to process into vermicast for use on the plot.

liebe Demonstrationsveranstalter*innen : wenn ihr schon Reden haltet - achtet bitte auf eine ausreichend dimensionierte Lautsprecheranlage. ich habe heute in #Mannheim fast nichts hören können und habe das auch von anderen Teilnehmenden als ein feedback wahrgenommen. Vielleicht ein Mitgrund, warum sich die Demo recht zügig wieder aufgelöst hat. #ma2701

@bookstardust mal sehen, ob ich die Einladung noch finde. aber da standen neben Grünen, SPD und CDU noch >30 weitere Vereine drauf. und die haben auch das entsprechende know-how und die Kontakte. ich stehe #Frankenthal oder #Worms jederzeit beratend zur Verfügung. #Mannheim war jedoch echt ne kleine Reise für mich.
