Compost purple hull peas shells

[Old Reliable]

I would like to ask Y'all a question ?

We planning on canning more purple hull peas when they come in.

We always have them shelled and was thanking about bring the hulls home and turning them in with my garden dirt. I was thank the worms would love them (green Tea).

What Y'all thank.

We always did ours that way. After shelling, we dumped the hulls right back into other raised beds for natural compost.

I never hear people talking about there worms in there gardens.

But to me if you don’t see a lot of worms when you a working your dirt it is no healthy.

The more worms the better.

Yes, we always have huge earthworms in our raised beds. We haven't planted some of them in a couple of years, but we continue to add more compost to them as a just in case they need to be planted. Doing that, we keep a good earthworm population going in them.

I LOVE my wormies!! Gonna build them their own bed this year in the now to be abandoned house (floors, walls and roof rotted thanks to a roofer who left a HUGE hole in the roof thru 3 weeks of down pours>>>>did the best I could to patch it up, but no workie!!)

The house has a sort of basement; it is about a 6 foot high space that is with in the concrete block foundation. Always pretty cool, but never freezes! Stays about 60 to 65 degrees, except in the dead of winter, but it doesn't freeze. Also going to get my meal worms going in a bit>>>>SOOOOO much to do and so little time!! AND I just can't and don't move as fast as I used to!!

I mix all the garden left overs into the soil>>>>leave over-winter and WALAAA!!! The next spring the soil is FULL of worms. They also LOVE cardboard>>>just make sure it is the brown cardboard, preferably with vegetable inks.

Sure... any untreated organic matter will benefit the garden. We always dumped the pea pods, bean trimmings, etc into the chicken pen. The chickens would pick through it, eat what they wanted, and scratch the rest into the bedding. We cleaned the pen once or twice a year. Anything we put the resulting compost on grew like crazy!
