RAISING CATFISH IN A BARREL

Just when I think I've read the most interesting thing I'll see today, I find this. Although I don't have the time or want to to raise fish, I've been really thinking about the worm composting. I've always been fascinated by the little magic workers. I was actually thinking about just adding worms to my current compost bin. It's in an area that's a little too shady to produce like I want it to. It has a lot of worms in it already, but I thought adding more might speed up the process. Anyone have any thoughts or experience on this?

It’s called vermicompost, a term you can use to search the web.

I would add the worms and I always added a couple to my flower pots too.

As long as your compost is on the dirt, so the worms can go down for coolness when the pile is doing its heating up cycle.

Someone may have further knowledge, mine is only what I have done with the big worms in my yard.
