Dirt, Worms, Soap and Rain

The last four days have been non-stop rain. The surrounding valleys are flooded as well as most of the northern New South Wales coast. It has actually been cold the past few days. Something I never thought I would feel here. Oh well, I guess the rain keeps everything green right?
Here are some pictures of the soap making last Monday. We also worked on the worm farm. Worm farms are a great way to process kitchen scraps into garden compost. They are also a good idea if you can't have (or don't want) chickens to process scraps. An urbanite solution to farm animals. The castings the worms produce are like black gold for the plants of the garden. One gallon of worm castings (watered down heavily) is enough to fertilize a reasonably sized garden area.
