Hey everyone, a year or more back my partner and myself started a mealworm farm with the hopes and aspirations of selling bulk sustainable protein for animal feed purposes. Sadly that dream was dashed as we just couldn't find a market for them albeit been a massive market overseas. I guess South Africa isn't quiet up to date with global trends just yet, not when it comes to eating mealworms, for now.
What we did however discover in the process is that mealworm poo (Castings or fras) makes a really good probiotic rich organic plant food, we packaged it and sold a few bags as well as tested it ourselves. Careful not to overdose the results were interesting rather positive even I would say.
I recently moved next door and live on the foot of a glorious mountain, "the bronberg". Rich in nectar for my bees really scenic views really easy on the eyes as well as cows forage the general area and where cows forage, moo Poo can be found.
A quick walk 3 metres from my lounge and I collect a bunch of cow sh!t. Throw it in a bucket of water for 2 days add bug sh!t and use that stinky bucket of goo to feed my plants and it would appear at this stage they are all thriving. From my bonsai to my aloe-vera plants chillis and more.
I used to plant directly into soil. Now I plant in buckets which seems to be working out nicely. Tobacco seeds, tomatoe, kale, chillis and more growing and or germinating, it promises to be really interesting to see how these look in a month or two.
My little 20 watt solar panel I use to charge 12 volt batteries incase the power goes out.
Spot the moo poo? I collect from here every week or two. See those amazing purple blooming Jacaranda trees in the background. Our bees are loving it as the honey has just begun to flow, yay 😀
I recently saw a really interesting documentary on the healing powers of tobacco and nicotene or more specifically nicotene. I went online and purchased myself 4 different varieties of tobacco plants picturee in these buckets (yet to germinate) and we shall hopefully be making all sorts of healing herbal remedies out of tobacco soon. Did you know that most nightshade plants contain nicotene as well as gem squashes, celery and tomatoes? But we're taught nicotene is enemy and bad for us? An interesting documentary on Rumble you have to watch more on the topic called "The Antidote" it's life changing.

With this mixture of worm poo and cow poo I'm sure all my plants are going to grow to their absolute max potential. Stay tuned for updates.
Love light and blessings
Cheer$;)
Some of our streets are lined with jacaranda trees, but they only seem to start flowering in November, so we've got a little wait yet before we get out purple trees.
Oh wow thats late.. which area is that ?
South Australia. Different continent, so I'm guessing that might be why.

Make a compost pit add kitchen excess, moo poo and bug poo, shredded paper, egg shells crumbled, let it stand turn after a week or two. Hopefully watch for earthworms to arrive to churn it all up, superb for the garden.
Busy using cardboard boxes to separate plants as an experiment trying to get away from plastic, will see how it goes.
Looks like a good mix you have going if it works keep it then share idea to small holdings in the region, who knows where this could take you with poo!

Hehe g thanks. ;)
Hehe sounds good my friend, that mixture of yours what are you growing with it? ;)
Grow mainly herbs and tomato due to monkeys destroying most plants, planted in manure and compost mix living suburban. My dad ran a large pit growing up, ordered manure from farm once a year to mix into his pit.
Listening to the link you shared, the antidote most interesting! Heard right in the beginning that cigarette smokers were better off. I still have some farm grown tobacco from Zimbabwe that was gifted me for my pipe, so yes this has been super interesting, also reveals how evil people exist, hope your plants thrive!
Sigh so true... so growing tobacco I plan to do now ;)
Don't blame you, also in the right region....
I love using worm castings and I do horse manure because thats what I can get from a farmer nearby. Your plants will really benefit from both.
Wow sounds good.. which worm castings attained from where??
I actually made my own worm box and fed the worms for a couple of years all my scraps. They made me some wonderful, fertile compost.
