Worm Farm

I got a Can of Worms from Bunnings. Cost about 70 bucks and about 50 bucks for 1000 worms. And they will breed and multiply over time.
Good thing is you can pour water over the worms once a week to get worm tea since there is a tap on the bottom of the Can. Worm tea is one of the best fertalizers you can get and its all natural.
You can also put the worms themselves into your garden and also use the worm castings (worm poo) to put on top of your garden for constant fertalizer.
The worms eat almost anything organic, Paper, Vacume cleaner dust, Veges and any left over food you have except meat of course and high citrus products like tomatoes and oranges arent the best as the worms dont like high acid foods. Saves a fair bit of money not having to go and buy fertilizer.
Here is a couple of pics.

Back on track after a house move...

Finally im back on track with my Herbs and Veges,
I moved up to the Blue Mountains outside the Sydney area and have a nice place with plenty of room to grow heaps of food.
IM going to make a few garden beds on a yearly rotational system.
I gave a quite a few plants away before the move and the ones I kept are still going great.
Here is a shot of my Chilli plants, There is 3 varieties  1st pic...Texan chillies 2nd pic is the Indian variety and the lsat on are the Mega Hot ones from South America.
I posted pics ages ago when they were young. Only problem I had is possums ate the only red one I had so far lol. I put them back in the Green house and now they seem fine. Cant wait to  breath fire :)
