Hey, y'all! I've been a bit absent lately, and I'm really sorry, but I've been BUSY! Stumbled across a BIG business opportunity and am working diligently on getting everything together to make it happen. BUT, in amongst my stumbling, I met a mushroom farmer interested in bartering spent substrate for finished worm castings. At first I didn't want her composted substrate because she said she finds worms in it all the time and I don't want to introduce them into my vermiculture system. But then again, my garden soil needs all the help it can get with introducing fungal mediums. Would this be a good addition? If so, how much should I add? And as food for the worms, I would prefer spent substrate not composted yet so I could pre-compost in a controlled environment before feeding to my worm employees, which in turn should make my castings more fungally dominant. Right? I hear they LOVE it! Input? Suggestions?

Planted asparagus last year and let them grow all year.... Couple are starting coming up. As thick as my finger! Hope I get a good harvest. 🤞

Looks like over 3 years and using nitrogen fixers they improved their yield and I would assume their soil too. https://www.yahoo.com/tech/research-shows-promising-results-increasingly-104551736.html Just by using a high tunnel. I don't have space for one, do you?
