On days when the sun shines it always seems that you can achieve anything. This morning waking to a glorious blue sky was a wonderful surprise after the cold and wet of the last few days. The vege garden is bursting along with growth – it’s hard to keep up with the caterpillars who probably think they have found paradise. I’m not too fussed as long as they leave us enough food for our dinner. Today was worm tea day – plants get fed every two weeks. I found out a few month ago that my in laws had a worm farm and weren’t using the worm tea. Now that I have told them they can use it as fertilizer and how to dilute it (1:10) we have family squabbles about who should get the supply of worm tea each time. It has encouraged me to start thinking about starting our own worm farm as the plants just love the worm tea and it would mean we could recycle our organic waste. We presently share a small wheelie bin with my mum but if we reduced our organic waste we could perhap share our bin with a third person in the street or change to a company that only picks the bins up when you want it picked up. The worm tea would also make a great gift idea for friends who garden (although not the most fragrant gift!)
