I cannot believe I found likeness for worms worm enthusiastics on Maoli world. Although I have a worm hotel in my yard, I do not beleive in it whole heartedly. I love my worms, and the tea that I produce is soooo awesome. I am experimenting with it. The vermi cast and tea does wonders to my plants. Have any of you visited the worm farm in Waimanalo? Bumby's group is two doors up. Glenn, is a pretty good guy, his person bred worm is the yellow tip worms. Too bad, we can't share worms with other islanders, I'm told it's against the law. I don't know about adding worms to the environment. Does anybody no what happen to the bananas and the cause for diseases was a particular worm? I don't have chickens to scratch the surface and eat the worms. I realy don't have a sustainable environment for systems. Kaohi

E Aloha,

I think "Akua" directed me to your site!! We run a youth group in Waimanalo and a community garden for adults. We live on homestead land and have started to garden in our backyards. We started vermicasting (I really love my worms!). We use our vermicast tea on our plants and and the plants just love it!! I want to do a hydroponic organic system with the tea and need to get more information. If you don't mind, could you share your "mana'o" on how your vermicast tea works on your hydroponic system??

Blessing,

Billie Kahiapo
