i forgot to mention that there was no meat products added tocompost pile, only coffee grounds from starbucks and vegetable scraps. i didnt add any browns, only greens
Maggots? From your compost pile? You are adding something to your compost pile that you shouldn’t be adding. Flies lay there eggs, which turn into maggots, on meat products, not vegetable products. Did you add meat to your compost pile??? Don’t add meat products or household animal (dog & cat) waste to your compost pile. This is inviting maggots and disease. But, now that you have added this to the garden, do you have chickens that you can turn loose into the garden to eat the maggots? The maggots aren’t going to hurt your garden. They will just turn into flies. Just be more careful in the future.

Is it okay to compost non-organic materials in an organic garden?
I eat organic foods whenever possible. I’m going to be making a vegetable garden that is pesticide-free and, therefore, organic. However, I do know that chemicals linger in non-organic produce (which is, of course, why I don’t buy it!). Will compost made from non-organic foods compromise the "organicity" of my garden and vegetables? How do you know? Thanks!
There will be so little pesticides left after it is broken down that it shouldn’t matter. In addition, the amount taken up by new plants growing in the future from that compost would be very small.

Probiotic Garden – Comparison of tomato plant experiment using compost tea
Join Will today as he discusses how he teams with nature by enlisting the help of bacteria and fungi in actively aerated compost tea in the care of his garden. Will explains an experiment he has run this summer using two tomato plants. In this experiment Will has watered one plant with water only and the other with water and actively aerated compost tea twice per month. One result of the experiment has shown that the compost teas Will makes was able to sufficiently cover the root and leaf surfaces to out compete and stop an infection of early blight on the tomato plant.

I found a warren or a hole or something in my garden under the compost heap. Any idea on the animal?
There is a hole the size of a tennis ball at the bottom of the compost bin leading underneath. There is a pile of debris next to the hole that seems to be comprised of small balls of dirt about the size of a marble. I was wondering if anyone had an idea about what animal it could be. I live down the bottom of the east coast of Australia. I’m thinking rat but the pile of dirt is a little big, about the size of 2 or 3 basketballs. Any ideas?
I’m still betting it is a rat. A pile the size of basketballs is huge, though!
The three major pest species in Australia are:
* Norway Rat
* Roof Rat
* House Mouse

Want The Very Best From Your Worm Farm
Worm farming is a neat way of changing household ecological waste into dung that can be utilised for bettering the composition, structure and productiveness of the soil. It is something that may be done simply across the year in the yard, studio or at work. Following is a step-by-step suggestion for building a worm farm. The most necessary thing needed for the worm farm is a composting can.
Ideal bedding materials are shredded paper, card, peat moss and straw. It is advocated to use more than one bedding item for creating a suitable environment for the worm to flourish, multiply and survive. The bedding needs to be damped before placing it in the composting bin. It should be wet like a sponge from that the water has been squeezed out.
Ideal bedding materials are shredded paper, card, peat moss and straw. It is suggested to use more than one bedding item for making an appropriate environment for the worm to flourish, multiply and survive. The bedding needs to be damped before putting it in the composting bin. It should be wet like a sponge from that the water has been squeezed out. Scattering of garden soil should additionally be added to the bedding. About three-quarters of the container should be full of the bedding and 1kg of worms needs to be added to it. For correct ventilation and drainage, small holes need to be drilled on the sides and bottom of the compost can.
The shredded card and paper may also be added. Things which shouldn’t be added are birds, beef, dairy foods, citrus fruits, oily food items and members of onion family like garlic, leek, and so on. A horrible odour starts leaving the farm due to those things. The reproduction of worms is often each ninety days.
An uncongenial odour starts exiting the farm due to those things. The reproduction of worms is normally each ninety days. However their population depends upon the scale of the environment and the available quantity of food. Under correct conditions, worm rot the bedding utterly and form a rich and dark brown compost that may be employed in the garden.
