Comment on Composting, Worms and Shade Gardening

Judy Breslin — Fri, 05 Mar 2010 03:36:26 GMT

I have worm bins and have been adding castings and worms to our garden.
Someone told me a forest north of CA is dying because of these worms getting out of their bins. They multiply quickly and eat the natural ground cover.
Should these worms be kept out of our gardens?

Thank you - the plant finder functions are a great tool that I had no idea existed! They could make quite a living if they would team up with some large nurseries to allow you to buy the plants once you have found them with the tool.

You can buy grow lights online and avoid the feeling entirely. I have a favorite from Gardener's Supply called the T-5 Tabletop SunLite® Garden I have it in the office and have tomatoes and beans under it right now.

Locally in West Los Angeles, there are an abundance of hydroponics stores where you can venture to find grow lights of all kinds. Hydrofarm is a well known brand and you can find them at the locations listed on this search:

If you want to walk a tomato plant in with you, it might help you feel legit.

Thanks for the tips! Do you know of anywhere in West Los Angeles that I can buy a grow light and I wouldn't feel like I was growing something quasi illegal?

I'm envious of your trip!! I love lavender but have bought so many from web sites here in the States and can't find anything that compares to the Pre de Provence smell.... How would I find any of these small shops or any shops in Provence area that sell their goods

Thank You!
