Harvested the third batch of vermicast: a portion of it is being donated to the gorgeous Hogwarts Garden, and another to the Merry Monkeys' garden at Manoa Valley Church Preschool, where they're growing lima beans and sunflowers.
My preschooler's two sunflower seeds, whose potting soil was enriched with vermicast, have sprouted! Hopefully, they'll survive the onslaught of slugs. We also used the rest of our vermicast to fertilize our backyard pakalana, kaffir lime, and banana trees; three of the latter are fruiting.
And finally: sighted at Whole Foods Market, Kahala, on Monday, 1/18/10: 1 pound of worm castings, selling for an exorbitant $20. "Black gold", indeed! Maybe I'm missing my calling...
