If you were Registered and logged in, you could reply and use other advanced thread options I have a fairly big lawn and can collect over a cubic metre of clippings in
one mow. I make sure they are nice and wet then pile them in a big bin and
let them cook until the heat goes out - usually about two weeks. Then I
bury a 10cm layer of the green slimy stuff about 30cm deep - the worms adore
it .
I also run a bottomless worm farm near my veggie patch - all the food scraps
and a bit of shredded paper goes in there - it seems to act as a breeding
ground for worms that then spread out to the garden. I have heard of a
similar (but smaller scale) approach of burying a large plant pot up to its
rim and putting finely chopped food scraps in there. It acts as a high
nutrient breeding ground then the juvenile worms move out through the holes
in the bottom of the pot and start working around the garden.
Cheers,
Geoff
