My go to “all purpose” soil mix. I feel like this is a great blend that’s not too chunky but not too dense. It’s a great in between blend that I have the majority of my houseplants in 🥰 1 part potting mix 1 part perlite 1 part orchid bark 1/2 part worm castings 1/2 part horticultural char

Hoya plant care tips! I have had this plant since it was a small cutting and it’s so cool seeing the progress it has made! I’ve just been letting it trail down up to this point, but I’m going to start letting it climb this circular wall planter! #plantcare #plantcaretips #planttips #w

Worm farming for beginners! The main point of worm farming to me is to get the worm castings, so when it comes time to sift it’s exciting! I like to let them dry down a bit so they aren’t too muddy to go through the sifter. #vermicompost #vermicomposting #wormcastings #wormfarm #wo

Worm farming for beginners! I made this small tote DIY system and it’s been a lot of fun to run this! It just shows you can run a worm farm even on a small scale and still let it be productive. #vermicompost #vermicomposting #wormcastings #wormfarm #wormfarming

Worm farming for beginners! Packing a classroom worm kit for a homeschool group so every student can start their own worm bin at home. This is worm farming for beginners, simple, hands-on, and a really cool way to learn how food scraps turn into soil. #vermicompost #vermicomposting #worm

Worm farming for beginners! I’m going through some junk mail and showing what I would shred vs what I would not. Anything glossy, plastic, shiny, sticky, or thermal paper are a no go! Shred up cardboard, printer paper, toilet paper rolls, brown paper bags and the worms can use it as bedding. Th

I am starting my emergency food supply/food pantry and I’m so excited! Good soil has led me to gardening, which has led me to wanting to learn how to can and preserve food. I’m a beginner, and this is just the start! Very basic and dry canning, but I got the pressure canner for when I start learnin

Cherene’s Greens all started with one houseplant, and one hobby led to the next. I’ve enjoyed this journey so much and love how it all comes full circle. Houseplants got me in to soil health, which led me to adding worm castings, which led to worm farming so I could produce my own castings, which l

Worm farming for beginners. Here is one way to sift the worm castings and separate them from the worms. I personally like to dry them down for a few days and then I sift them through a 1/8 sifter. This catches most cocoons but lets lots of castings fall through. #vermicompost #vermicompostin

Propagating plants is one of my favorite hobbies. This is one of my favorite plants that I’ve propagated! #plantcare #plantcaretips #propagation #propagate #propagating

Worm farming red wigglers! This is one of my grow our bins, and I fed it a moldy sourdough loaf of bread and they are seeing to love it! Turning scraps into worm castings is so fun and rewarding! #vermicompost #vermicomposting #wormcastings #wormfarm #wormfarming

I love worm farming so much because of the benefits of the worm castings! I like to top dress my house plants once a month. It introduces beneficial microbes back in, helps with the soil structure, and just makes your soil “alive.” It helps your plant absorb the nutrients you’re giving it with fert

Worm farming with these red wiggler composting worms! This is one of my cocoon nurseries, and after I “reset” a breeder bin this is what’s left behind. I’ve been hand picking cocoons for sale, but once they start getting into the bulk sizes it takes a long time to count. I’m going to start selling

In my worm farm I have a lot of breeder bins running to make more cocoons! These worms will reproduce in any bin, but in a breeder bin it’s a more concentrated area where they can produce way more cocoons. If you’re wanting to up your population quickly, I recommend running a few of these. #ve

How to propagate a Monstera Albo Cut below the node. The node is where new roots and growth will come from. Place the node in water, keep the leaf out of the water, and be patient. Roots first, leaves later. There are other ways to propagate, but water is my favorite because you can actually

Plant propagation is easier than people think. I’m showing where to cut on a few different plants. Cut below the node and place it in water. There are several ways to propagate plants, but water is my favorite method. #propagation #propagating #propagate #propagateplants #plantcar

I made a DIY small tote worm farm and started with just 50 worms. This small system has been a lot of fun and it’s amazing to see how productive even a small system can be! #vermicompost #vermicomposting #wormcastings #wormfarm #wormfarming

Small tote DIY worm farm! I love this little system and the worms are very happy. I’m seeing cocoons and baby worms which is a great sign. This is a fun way to get started if you aren’t wanting to commit to a huge system yet. #vermicompost #vermicomposting #wormcastings #wormfarm #
