Orlando Composting Newbie: Sourcing & Bin Size?
Greetings all! What a fun, strange little corner of enthusiastic nerds. It feels homey here. 💕
So, I'm going to be starting my very first little garden [emphasis on LITTLE] : just a small Navaho blackberry bush & a container with some garlic & a couple herbs. Nothing much. So, I genuinely don't need a massive amount of compost — I'm most interested in the liquid as a longterm source of fertilizer.
ANYWAY, MY TWO QUESTIONS!
Where do I source worms? I think a combination of red wigglers & nightcrawlers may be useful to cover my bases of plant & paper matter. Do I just buy them online, do I go to a store, are there other people out there with an abundance of wigglybros to share? On the third note, I would not even know where to look.
What size of bin should I get/how many worms for such a small garden needs? If there's a bit of extra soil, I can probably offload that to a friend for her houseplants, but I'd like to keep the space & weight to a minimum since my porch is miniscule.
Thank you in advance!! I appreciate it dearly. 😁
