Gabe1982 said:I have recently read a post where a guy used a few things (like eggshells and some weird salts) and some worm eggs to create a soil that was nutritious enough for this worm strain and while the work was eating all the things away, it basically excreted into the soil (making it perfect for plants).

Does anyone know of a way to do the same in a simple way?

I mean it is easy to get eggshells from the kitchen....but other things might be complicated (he used some weird salts and I cant remember what they were) and I have no clue where to get those weird worm eggs. I remember it was easy when I was a kid. We had a massive garden and we would just dig up those worms to use them on fishing hooks (but now living in a big city...things are slightly different).

Any help will do. :)

I use a 2 storage totes, fill one with stuff like egg shells, coffee grinds, left over veggies from supper, just don't put meats or anything greasy or it'll start stinking, through some lawn clippings,dead leaves into it then dump one into the other every weekend until it gets good and rich, works great.
