If you start a worm bin with red worms you can recycle your plants into castings. I explain how to do it here: http://www.rollitup.org/organics/590...tml#post658146

Sorry Lacy...I have to disagree. You should def compost your dead plant matter, males etc. Compost your egg shells, your paper, cardboard, food scraps (maybe not meat, depends on the composter)...this is the organics section. You can't be telling people not to compost.

I was surprised to see your response to be honest. You don't have a compost heap somewhere on your land?

Well yes of course you can make your own compost which is great for all plants life BUT most people don't compost properly. It needs to be left to break down and that can take quite a while so instead of going through all of it I just tell people not to use their own compost.
Most likely it is not going to be composted enough and when they go to use it in the outdoor grow it most likely gets dug up by animals.


YES but we should all compost.
Soory snow white. You are absoluteky right and I should not be telling people not to compost.

Sometimes tomwships have premade compost that is ready to use which is perfect.

Yes I do have a composter on our property. One of those big black ones BUT it takes forever to compost anything. I certainly wouldn't want to rely on that because it most likely would just5burn the plants roots. Its just not composted enough.

want quicker turn around on your compost....get one of these bad boys....

SmartSoil - the Clever Way to Compost

I've been doing lots of reading about composting recently and I'm about to get one of these myself. The key is regular rotation which really speeds the process up, just turn the barrel, easy....and the clever thing about this one is that it has 2 insulated compartments so one side can be maturing and the other side will be 'active'...and cos it's insulated, it keeps composting in winter as well. It really is very clever and well designed, but it's not that cheap!

They claim to get useable compost in only 8 weeks. I'll let you know how I get on though, I may start a thread

Whether I will use this humus to grow my weed or not, I don't know yet. I will probably experiment with it I guess. I agree that used pure it would be far to hot, but used/mixed in the correct quantities I reckon my plants would love it!
