Start a Worm Farm With Your Kids by Marc http://www.chelseagreen.com/content/cant-afford-camp-start-a-worm-farm-with-your-kids/#comment-20055 Marc Mon, 07 Mar 2011 22:34:14 +0000 http://www.chelseagreen.com/content/cant-afford-camp-start-a-worm-farm-with-your-kids/#comment-20055 This is a great article on worm composting. I'd like to throw in that if you are unable to find worms locally, you may want to look at www.findworms.com; an online worm farm listing. I know that shipping worms can sometimes be difficult, and even a little intimidating. This is a great article on worm composting.

It was such a familiar story when I was young, but I feel that it is a lost art. Now I will follow it up with a nice cup of hot chocolate! I liked your description of the various moons.

It can be a longer process, but it's worthwhile. Cheers. Oh, BTW Ryan, try using coconut oil, or look up using vegetable glycerin. It can be a longer process, but it’s worthwhile.

How does your friend feel about using a double boiler? Or even more simply, two cooking pots, one big, one little. Fill the big pot with water, bring it to a boil, and put the little pot in the big one (be careful not to overfill the water pot, as the herbs, butter and small pot will displace a certain amount of the water). Add the butter, let it melt, and stir in your finely ground herbs. I've cooked it from two hours to six hours, but absolutely the more the merrier, and it's always made a treat. Just be careful, it's really strong if you leave the fibers in the butter (and, unless you are using some very kind material, it can taste very weedy). Another concern is making sure all the water doesn't boil out of the big pot. Especially if you are impatient, inhale the herbs while you're waiting, and then promptly forget about the butter entirely. It happens to the best of us... Thanks for the article, LBLMT This is a nice, easy description for a pot butter.

Grapeseed oil would be good, too, and healthy for you as well. Mo: RE: How much water to use - certainly enough to cover herb by a few inches - but too much water won't effect it b/c THC is not water soluble - it is fat soluble. It's the herb to oil ratio that counts. For Ryan re: Type of oil - something bland, like canola would work best for baking. Grapeseed oil would be good, too, and healthy for you as well.

]]> Comment on Indoor Food Production: The Case For Self-Watering Planters by Ray http://www.chelseagreen.com/content/indoor-food-production-the-case-for-self-watering-planters/#comment-20038 Ray Wed, 02 Mar 2011 08:55:26 +0000 http://www.chelseagreen.com/content/indoor-food-production-the-case-for-self-watering-planters/#comment-20038 I think this is a radical idea - Could this method of growing food (veg, etc) take precedence over traditional growing methods ? Im working on a project where Im designing a town for 5000 households. I very much want indoor food production as a method of creating employment and supporting the local economy aswell as feeding the community. The trouble is - I've no idea what size factory would be needed to grow enough food to satisfy the demand of the local retail outlets. Am desperate for more info - Any idea on what size factory would be needed to yield enough veg to feed a supply demand for say 1000 people ... I need to solve this issue soon if I am to integrate it as a theme in the overall proposals ...
