Had a wonderful breakfast here. Everything tasted like you were visiting grandma's house. Can't wait to bring others here to eat.
Never had a bad meal here, always good, great service and a good value. Friday night fish Fry is awesome. Eat here.
All of the staff are so friendly we know them by name. Their food and outstanding homemade pies are awesome. We take our friends there. It is a local hangout and we can easily see why.
We travel through Sauk City frequently and always try to time our trip to be able to stop for breakfast or lunch. Their food is homemade and delicious. The omelettes are some of the best I've had! So fluffy and full of flavor. Can't pass up the cinnamon rolls. They put them right up front so you see them when...
You must stop what you are doing and get some raspberry cream pie from this restaurant. They have the best pies around . Some restaurant's claim they have homemade pies but this place actually does. They also have the best coffee and the best tasting eggs. The yolks are just so flavorful and rich. You will not have to wait...
A very good meal of many sorts with an opportunity to include homemade pastries with the meal or finish with a piece of homemade pie.
There are pies of every kind, and they are simply mouthwatering. I have of course also had real food there - but most of the time, I don't want to waste my appetite on plain food when I can have such delicious pies...
Service prompt but less than friendly. Steak & shrimp just ok, mashed potatoes out of a box. Salad out of a bag, not fresh, with a few slices of under-ripe tomato and small croutons. Cinnamon roll dried out, very disappointing after reading all the other reviews. Someone else ordered a shake which looked good, chef salad had adequate meat &...
I grew up about 7 miles from this place and even though it has changes hands over the years they have real potato pancakes and they fry them perfect. But you have to go early before they run out or they stop making them at 1100AM. They serve them with applesauce and sausage links
Then why not finish off with...
We found this restaurant online. My boyfriend and I love a classic diner and Leystra's did not disappoint.
Their baked goods are out of this world! He ordered a cinnamon roll that was enormous and melt in your mouth delicious.
The prices were economical and the food was tasty.
This is not a fancy place but it is warm and...

I received my Austin Homebrew American Rice Lager kit today and it was supposed to include 1lb of Rice Syrup solids but the kit only included an 8oz package of solids. My question is, would corn sugar be an adequate replacement for the missing oz of solids or would extra light DME be better? I don't mind using DME but would that take away from the "adjunctness" I'm shooting for in this style?
I think you would be okay either way. With only 8 oz of DME, you won't be giving up too much.
Corn sugar would probably work.
I'd give AHS a call, and see what they suggest. They should be able to either explain why you got less than the recipe indicates, and tell you of a good alternative.

help dill seed vs. dill weed
Hi,everyone making dill relish today,Have never made this before.my question to all of you experienced canners is can I substitute dill seed for dill weed,the recipe calls for dill weed and I have plenty of dill seed and no dill weed the recipe calls for a half cup of dill weed,how much dill seed would I need to substitute for the weed Thanks in advance ............Sharon
1/2 c of dill weed!!! WOW that is an awfully lot. Most recipes are in teaspoons.
The seed and the weed are so different in flavoring (weed is much stronger in flavor than seed) that most cooks recommend against substituting one for the other. Dill seeds have more of a flavor like fennel or even caraway. Plus it definitely will change the texture of the relish.
Given that I would recommend against the substitution. Check out the NCHFP recipe for Dill relish as it uses seeds.
Here is a link that might be useful: Dill Pickle Relish
Dill weed is sold in every supermarket. Its in the produce section where you also find fennel, parsley, and many other leafy herbs. The dill seeds don't have quite the same taste as the weed. If the seeds are old, they lose a lot of flavor too. I pickle when the fresh dill seed heads have swelled green buds that form the tan color seeds once mature. My dill is growing wild now, and has been overtaking some areas where I have other plants. It drops seeds in fall and they survive the winters here and are the first greens to emerge in spring. Some of my dill have stalks that are as big around as my finger and are taller than 5 feet!
Just took this photo a few minutes ago..
Wish my cuke plants would get going. They are still only 8 inches tall and sitting there doing nothing. The dill will soon be all seed and no weed. Some weed is aleady turning tan color and will soon be producing seeds, long before the cukes ever start growing. You cant see it from here, but behind the mass of dill and under the back part of the greenhouse I have two huge thyme plants, and some French tarragon. The big yellow thing on the right side is a huge sunflower that sprouted in spring and came from some bird seeds I put out every winter.
We seem to have something that re-seeds every year in the wild. It smells a lot like anise or perhaps fennel. I keep hoping to find some wild dill - but it always turns out to be anise instead. Wonder if dill likes a cold dormant stage.
I saved dill weed one summer. Froze it and put in a plastic ziploc bag. It seems to lose flavor if dried - as does mint and cilantro - to my taste.
I'm having fairly good results with mint this season. Drying outside between screens - until almost dry, removing the stems then and freezing the leaves in serving amounts for iced tea, putting in a plastic bag - then into a freezer container. The mint seems to be holding flavor very well. Never had much luck with drying it before.
As I have mentioned many times in the past. Dill seeds do survive cold winters and will sprout very early in spring. Thats how all the dill came up this year, as I never planted even a single dill seed. It would never show up wild in a place, unless it was initially planted there, or some wild life has carried the seeds. The mass of it is growing where my saffron crocus are planted and they start showing up about mid to late Sepetmeber.
As to dill weed. Yes, I have dried it in a dehydrator and crumble it. I put it in quart canning jars and use the Food Saver jar attachment to pull a vacuum on the jar and it also seals a lid under vacuum. The dill weed, packed that way can remain quite strong for up to two years. I am still using a lot of it from that time. I dry mine in a cheap RONCO dehydrator and its never given me any issues or problems. Air drying will cause its color to fade a little and the taste isn't as strong if its air dried.
Ken, Your dill is beautiful at about the same stage as mine. Not dry enough yet to collect seeds. I did 3 batches of pickles already using the green fronds only and dry dill seed, which I bought. Seems the dill always come after the pickles, but not this year. Only a few of my dill heads have seeded. I did use some of the green seed heads in my pickles jars though. I am growing Mammoth. Yours looks similar.
Yes, a vacuum packed jar is the best way as it will help hold flavor and that bright green color. Most of mine are at the later stages of tiny yellow flowers, and a few have sweled green seeds. I pick usually when the seed heads are still green and swelled as they have more taste that way. I like a LOT of dill flavor and also use Mrs. Wages dil pickle mixes for both vinegar types and fermented half sours. Dont forget the garlic!
Ken - I have one fairly decent dill plant - (I was drooling over your picture of them), but will settle for what I can get.
As my pickles are almost gone - I just fermented the last half-gallon a few days ago - so think I will gather some fresh seeds from that one dill plant and do a little "wild" sowing. (Imagine that - sowing wild oats - er - dill - at my age too).
Ken were you able to get any plants in at all after that nasty rainy weather?
My summer stuff is about fried - after a couple of hot afternoons - except for some sorry looking cherry toms and about 8 - 10 assorted peppers - 2 of which went through a winter dormant period - hot types I think.
So - I'm taking a breather until September, when the fruit will be coming ripe in the local mountain fruit stands. Then hope to "do" a lot of juice - apples, peach, pears in jars.
Squeezed another 2 pints of kraut in - now fermenting in the pantry, along with some zucchini pickles.
Just my 2 c's.
One? Here, there are about fifty that over 5 foot tall and I have more on the other side of the garden not in the photo. When I put dill seeds in my pickle jars I use the whole head or more in half gallon jars. I planted everything the first week of June, and also put out plants I started in pots back in April. The overnight temps are also very cool now, almost like its late August. The melons and cuke plants need a lot of warm soil to grow. I expected my brussels sprout plants to be at least 2-3 feet tall by now, but they are still small, and were also started indoors back in April. Next year, I may start stuff in early March instead. By June, a tomato plant is over 3 feet tall if I start it in March. I think I will pick all the dill seeds off before they drop. I don't want as much of a spread as I had this year. Behind that big sunflower on the right, are the 30 brussels sprout plants. My apples are usually ready to pick about mid August, very early varieties.

building rc plane from fiberglass
i am planning to build a rc plane from fiberglass,i need a mould and i dont know where to get one.My country does not sell styro foam or any other foam.i have already bought a 2200kv motor,6*4 propeller etc...If anyone can give me ideas,a type of plane best for these specs and where can i buy a mould would be very helpful
|Jan 11, 2013, 12:26 PM
Are you new to RC aircraft? Have you flown before? Where are you located? What type of plane are you hoping to build? Lot's of questions here...
It is very doubtful that you'll find a mold... You will have to make one. Why are you making an aircraft out of fiberglass anyway? It will be heavy! And most kits of that material will be much larger than a motor that size will be suitable for regardless... And crashing a fiberglass plane is usually a complete loss of airframe!
The foam they sell here in Canada is usually not a proper type for building aircraft either. But depron is available at the hobby store for a high cost. I ordered a bundle of Fan Fold Foam from the USA and have been happy ever since. I suggest you find an online foam dealer and have it shipped in to you.
|Jan 11, 2013, 12:37 PM
No foam ?, why not use wood ?.
Balsa wood would be the first choice. No balsa ?, then other lightweight woods may be suitable.
No foam, no wood ?
Do you have cardboard ?, quite a few models have been built and flown successfully made from cardboard.
No cardboard ?
Any water nearby ?, fishing can be a good hobby

So you can buy fiberglass and resin, but no foam?? What country??
Unless your a experianced fiberglass worker, making a mold and a plane out of fiberglass is not so easy.
Plus all fiberglass planes are a lot heavier than foam/balsa planes.
You don't need foam to make a mold, I have used wood for the plug.
Here's a link to a pusher jet mold I made. It took a lot of time and doing it just right.
|Jan 11, 2013, 02:32 PM
Every country must have foam It's a commonly used material for insulation in buildings and scores of other uses. Then there is balsa.
You cant buy moulds for planes, if you really do want to mould your own then you have to make a 'plug' from wood or whatever, then make your own female mould over the plug... then after all of that you can lay up the actual model inside the female mould.
This is a very skilled and time consuming process and usually only makes sense if you intend to mass produce. As noted above, for small to medium size models moulded fibreglass tends to be quite heavy.

Good advise
i'm new at hobby,i live in Seychelles and i'v never flyed a plane before but i want to build one and i'll be like a project.So i think i'm going to go with cardboard first and get some experiance then i will build one with balsa.Anyone with plans to build a cardboard/balsa wood plane would very helpful.Thanks for your opinons guys!!

Hey Jude, (sorry couldn't resist that one)
My humble suggestion is try your hand at building the SUPER EASY from the cheapest model airplane material....dollar store foam. Not sure if you have this material in the Seychelles though. It is made from extruded polystyrene foam sheet with paper sheathing on both sides. A sheet of 20 inches x 30 inches is a dollar at most dollar stores.
If not available there, you can order it in, but it won't be as cheap anymore.
Check out these threads:
From this model, you will learn how to build and then learn to fly it as well. This is probably the easiest RC airplane to build and fly. If you can draw straight lines, use a box cutter and spread glue, you can build this plane.
And if you are breathing, you can learn to fly it, no problemo.
After this model, sure as the sun rises in the morning, you will be addicted to RC. There are tons of plans for foam sheet airplanes in these RCGroups forums to last several lifetimes of model building and flying....for cheap.
Good luck!
|Jan 12, 2013, 07:53 AM
If you want to see what has been made using cardboard -
Click on the Search, (near the top of the page), type, cardboard, set it to Show Threads, then click Go.
It will list any threads with the word 'cardboard' in their titles, (my search came back with 101 threads). Obviously not all will be useful, so to simplify which threads to look at, don't click on the thread title but click on the tiny 'paperclip' symbol at the end of the title. This will show just the pictures that appear in the thread.
If the pictures look interesting, then have a read of the thread.
One major point, weight is the enemy of flight, and some cardboard can be heavy, so try to keep your models as light as possible, they will fly better.
|Jan 12, 2013, 09:58 AM
There are materials that you have not thought of that might be available. Plastic toy bats, for sale signs and house insulation foam board. I know an island is limited on what they bring in but you might have something you could use.

Asamoah Gyan blames loss of concentration in Al Dhafra defeat
Asamoah Gyan has attributed Al Ain's shock 4-3 defeat at Al Dhafra in the Arabian Gulf League on Friday to loss of concentration.
Al Ain opened the scoring through Michel Bastos before they conceded three goals in the second half.
Gyan reduced the deficit and drew them level with two goals before compatriot Emmanuel Clottey secured victory for the home side.
"[The defeat] was just one of those things. I think we lost a bit of concentration and that cost us today," said Gyan.
"Sometimes we need to pay more attention, what else can I say. When we started to wake up a bit we did well. We need to work harder.
"We have good quality players who know how to wins games, so we need to just keep training hard.
"Hopefully, we'll have a new coach soon and then we need to adapt to his tactics."

Motel bought out- sucksPosted Aug 9, 2014
Motel bought out by mt Olympus. They closed down the pool without notification. Pictures on line show beautiful pool. I never would have reserved the room had I known they closed down the pool. Had to check in a mile down the road at the main hotel for mt Olympus. Check in took over 45 minutes die to the huge volume of people. Will NEVER stay at any of the mt Olympus hotels again.

Beanie Wells held out of practice
TEMPE, Ariz. -- That breakout season so many have predicted for Beanie Wells might be on hold for a week.
The Arizona Cardinals' second-year running back sat out practice again on Thursday with a sore right knee. He said the knee is "a lot better" but it would be the coach's decision on whether he would play in the Cardinals' season opener Sunday in St. Louis.
NFC West blog
ESPN.com's Mike Sando writes about all things NFC West in his division blog.
"We'll see," coach Ken Whisenhunt said. "If he can make the kind of progress he's made the last couple of days then we'll see where he is on game day."
The team has three other running backs, so Whisenhunt said the Cardinals can be cautious with the injury.
"What concerns me is I don't want this to be something that in week 12 or week 13 or week 14 that you're having issues with," the coach said. "Like we said earlier in the week, we're going to be conservative on it. If we feel like Beanie's made enough progress by Sunday, then he'll play. If we don't, then like I said, I feel very strong at that position."
Asked about the possibility of missing the opener in what is supposed to be a big season for him, Wells flashed his trademark smile and said, "Sixteen games. It's a long season."
Even if he was healthy, Wells still would be behind starter Tim Hightower on the depth chart.
Wells, a first-round draft pick out of Ohio State, led the team in rushing with 793 yards in 176 carries, an average of 4.5 yards per carry. Hightower enters his third NFL season after being picked in the fifth round out of Richmond.
The burly Hightower carried 143 times for 598 yards (4.2 yards per carry) and caught 63 passes -- second-most among NFL running backs behind Baltimore's Ray Rice -- for 428 yards.
Hightower also is one of the league's better protectors during a blitz, something Arizona might need with its remodeled offensive line.
"When I came in my first year, it was pretty much explained to me 'Either you're going to pick up your pass protection or you're not going to play this week,'" he said. "So I think mentally it was kind of a thing, either I had to get good at this real quick or I wasn't going to see the football field."
Wells said he thinks he's "doing great" in developing his pass blocking.
"I'm picking it up well," he said. "The most important thing for me is to know what I'm doing, know my assignments and what guy to block on each play and I think I'm doing that just fine."
Wells struggled a bit in the preseason, gaining 75 yards in 25 carries. He also fumbled the ball away late in the first half in Chicago at the Bears' 6-yard line. Wells still contends he was down before the ball came loose.
Besides, he said, "It's the preseason, so you take it for what it's worth. I understand last year I wanted to come out and have a great preseason because it was my first NFL experience. This year to take a back seat to that, you know it's preseason. It's going to be a long season ahead of you. I don't think any of the top backs had a great preseason."
Kurt Warner no longer lights up the field with passes for the Cardinals. In his place is Derek Anderson, who has a big-time arm but has had problems with accuracy.
Expect Arizona to try to lean heavily on the 1-2 running punch of Hightower and Wells.
"We're gearing up to be a running football team," Wells said. "I like that."

VegasChatter Questions: How Does That Loss Rebate Promotion Work?

Can You Reserve A Private Gaming Table?
One of our readers, Chris, recently asked the following question about setting up a private poker game at a Vegas casino for an upcoming trip:
Help: I'm a daily reader and appreciate the constant Vegas updates. I'm planning a July bachelor party and the groom-to-be is interested in seeing if we can reserve a few tables at one of the casinos to host 20 of us for a private poker game. I don't think I've seen a story on this but would appreciate if you could put your collective heads together.
While it's quite common to see table games such as craps, blackjack, or roulette reserved for certain players, things are a little different when it comes to poker. According to Nevada gaming laws, casinos may not specifically prevent anybody who is lawfully on the property from sitting in any poker game that is taking place in the casino. Many people see the high limit rooms such as Bobby's Room at Bellagio or Ivey's Room at Aria and presume that these are private games. This is not the case. The fact that these games take place in walled off areas of the poker room, often with security personnel lingering nearby, does not mean that your average Joe off the street can't take a seat in the game, presuming he has enough money in his pocket to meet the minimum buy-in.

VegasChatter Questions: Can A Casino Turn Off A Slot Machine While In Play?
When I stayed at SLS Las Vegas in December, I sat down to play video poker on my way back to the room. The session lasted longer than I expected for a $20 buy in. While playing, I noticed that the machines next to me were turned off. While stretching and taking a breath of fresh casino air, I noticed that all of the machines within eyesight were turned off. After about 20-30 minutes, I noticed that the area had been roped off and that there was a sign posted for a tournament in that section.
Tournament areas are usually roped off well in advance of special events. Perhaps, the casino at SLS isn't large enough to close off so many multi-game machines for so long. But, this leads to a reader question from Dan P.:

Wyndham Desert Blue Targeting Spring Debut
Just off the Strip, a lone timeshare tower stands silent. Its name shrouded from view. Its opening unknown. At least, until now.
Major construction work has appeared to be complete for some time now for the long-delayed Wyndham Desert Blue project to the north of Rio. The stalled timeshare was originally due to open in early 2010, but construction came to a halt before that happened, leaving 90 percent of the project unfinished. Its skeleton sat dormant for years before VegasChatter fan Kaywood H. noticed work was once again underway in April 2013.

What's Up With The DJs, Yo?
Just as common a sight on the Vegas Strip as buskers and those $1 water guys are DJs. Once a faceless, nameless profession, it now comes with so much cache DJs capture top billing on marquees and some of the city's top salaries, too.
Outside of the Strip's mega clubs, DJs also remain standard entertainment fare at lounges and bars. You're much more likely to jam to a DJ than a live band. But, that's not to say everyone likes throwing their hands up. Just ask VegasChatter reader Donna M.:

VegasChatter Twitter follower @johnnythunder82 recently tweeted us for an update on the glass ban on the Las Vegas Strip. The short answer is, the Las Vegas Metro Police Department (LVMPD) is still figuring out its own strategies for enforcing the new law and how best to implement the strategies into practice.

So You Want The Scoop On Getting Drink Tickets With Your Sports Wagers
It seems like every time we post an article about what's happening in the sportsbook, the number one question, regardless of the topic, is "Can I get drink tickets there?" After posting last week's article about getting seats are the Venetian sportsbook on Facebook, the question about where someone can get drink tickets with their wagers was raised again by VC reader Sarah B.
The short answer is that policies are rarely the same -- even in the same casino at the same time. There are no longer hard and fast rules about drink tickets at any sportsbooks besides CG Technology (Venetian, Cosmopolitan, etc.) In the past, you could expect a drink ticket with your sports bets. This was a time when casinos didn't mind if you sat around watching a game and not spending money. Things have changed over the years and drink tickets are no longer the norm when placing your bets.

We're always here to help when you have a question. VegasChatter reader Rob R. was just assigned a casino host for the first time and turned to us on Facebook for clarity and advice:
So I have a question that maybe someone can help me with... I'm a Diamond member with Total Rewards. I have been assigned a "Casino Host". What exactly is he/she and what kinds of things can they do for me? Am I supposed to tip him/her? I rarely even see him but I do have his cell phone number." -- Rob
Let's first look at what exactly a casino host's job entails and that's to create a relationship with players so that they become loyal to the casino (or casinos) they work for. In other words, the host works for a casino with the purpose of making customers happy during and in-between visits.

Are Non-Gaming Hotels Better?
With so many choices in Las Vegas, one of the most daunting choices you have to make will be done long before you set foot off the plane. Choosing where to rest after long days and nights of gambling, eating and, of course, boozing can have visitors vacillating between the latest and the greatest, the closest and the cheapest, and more. This writer has even heard of decisions based on the size of the shower!
When looking for hotels in Vegas there are so many options, your first time or two usually results in a stay at one of the main hotel-casinos on The Strip. And, why not? All the lights, glamour, action, romance and nostalgia exist around those hotels. After a couple trips to Vegas, however, that feeling might wear off. A transformation into a Vegas veteran may send you off Strip or downtown when choosing a spot to sleep. If you aren't interested in leaving The Strip, there are other options that provide a good bang for your buck and don't come with the annoyances of a mega-resort.

UK soft drinks report: And you thought Britain was a nation of tea drinkers?
A report issued by AC Nielsen indicates that UK consumers are now spending more on cold soft drinks as they do on bread and, twice as much on cold drinks as they do hot. Coca-Cola continues to be king of AC Nielsen's top 100 UK brands, closely followed by Pepsi which, AC Nielsen says, accounts for 20% of sales. But one of the biggest growth areas seen so far in the UK is mineral water.

Cheap source for worms?
I was given a Can O Worms a few months ago but I haven't been able to afford to order any worms. Is it possible to find them outside in WA state?
If you have a yard that is not loaded with chemicals, you could saok an area, put some type of organic material down (maybe like melon or coffee grounds), and cover it with some soaked cardboard. Check it every so often and worms should show up. It might be slow but it's free!
My first thought was Seattle Tilth, but I looked it up and they're more expensive than I thought. $12.50 for half a pound. If you're interested, here's the link.
Here is a link that might be useful: Seattle Tilth
Search for redworms. There is a seller there selling a full pound+ of composting redworms for $20 with free shipping within the US. I bought from her and there were only a few casualties and a few died later the next day. That's a 1000+ of worms for...no pun intended...dirt cheap!
Here is a link that might be useful: Ebay
Try your local freecycle (www.freecycle.com)
or local craigslist (www.craigslist.com).
Your county extension may have worms for cheap.
Do a search for sustainable gardening in your area.
I bet a kindhearted person will share. Or recycling groups/organizations.
I got mine by just talking gardening with an ol' timer
working a second job in the gardening section of a hardware store. I was ready to pay but he insisted on giving me my first wormies.
And I met a community gardener who was icked out by her worms in her bag of purchased compost. That was until I told her how valuable her wormies and castings are :0)
Good luck! When I have enough to share, I will do so for "free" as they were given to me and now they are my "Friendship Wormies".
You can also join a group elsewhere. I belong to thewormbin on Yahoo and maybe there's someone in Seattle who has plenty to share?
I would love to do the "friendship worms" thing, too. Unfortunately, everyone I talk to about vermicomposting in my area thinks I'm crazy! Maybe I'll try the Freecycle suggestion once my worm colony is sufficiently established (I only started at the beginning of October 2005).
Anyway, for those in the New England area, I got my worms from Ken Perry of http://redworms-greenearth.com
Bought my Can-O-Worms from him at the Deerfield Fair (Deerfield, NH) on a Thursday, and received my 2 lbs of worms in the mail the following Tuesday. They were nicely packed in breathable cloth-like bags with plenty of foodstuff to munch on. His prices seem reasonable, I'm not sure how they compare to other sellers in the country.
Standard disclaimer: I'm not affiliated with Mr. Perry's business in any way --- just sharing my positive experience.
How come no one is recommending WormWoman.com? I got mine through them, $19.00 for 1 lb, $34 for 2 + S&H. This is the late Mary Appelhof's company.
Here is a link that might be useful: www.wormwoman.com
Thanks for the great advice everyone. Hopefully I will find someone locally who doesn't mind sharing a few to get me started.
Wormswrangler- I didn't know that being a poor college student who can't afford to pay over $20 for worms was degrading to them. Not all of us have money to throw around.
Dear Ken
All you have to do this time of year is go rake some leaves.
There are plenty lurking under there, especially on a sidewalk or wet areas.
If you know of someone who has a grass compost or a veggie compost you will find lots there.
You will find the large dew worms as well.......leave them alone, they will not survive.
Just take the red and striped worms. Keep them relatively warm over the winter and by spring you will have a good size colony.
I really think you'll have good luck finding some free wormies
through freecycle or craigslist (under free) and also go to their gardening discussion group (awkward to follow threads).
And join the_worm_bin on Yahoo and other groups and post your situation there.
Sorry I'm not near and don't have enough friendship wormies to share yet. I've got a line forming for my wormies already.
Surprisingly, no one thinks I'm nuts for having wormies.
They must get caught up in my enthusiasm or I'm preaching to the choir (recyclers and gardeners).
I've given away many starts of worms on freecycle. Its a great way to find new homes for your friendship worms and you get to meet some neat people with similar interests. I'm sure if you put a "wanted" post for red worms, someone will have some for you.
i got a pound of worms from topline-2000.com for $21 and it came with free shipping, but the free shipping depends on what zone you live in...
It's that "+ Shipping" I'm always afriad of. That's why I go where the shipping is free. I see no reason to pay upwards of $10 to ship worms when I can purchase the worms cheaply AND get free shipping. Paying more for the same species of worms is not getting more for your dollar (re WormWrangler.com). Ihave had no problem with the vender on ebay.com who has sent me two shipments of worms. They've composted and done what they are supposed to...for less money. So trying to tell people that purchasing cheap is degrading...well...you're not getting an fan support or new customers from that statement, that is for sure.
BTW, the username of the person on ebay.com: kaelyn0203
One pound of composting redworms for $17-$19, free shipping.
Two pounds for $34, and free shipping.
Beat that worm wrangler!
I bought my worms from Shady Creek Worm Farm, 1 pound was $19.95, with free shipping. I don't work for them, I am just very pleased with my order.
However, they are in TN, and it seems it would be better to buy "closer to home". But wanted to share my source, in case anyone else is looking too. :)
Here is a link that might be useful: Shady Creek Worm Farm
Hi tey! I remember you!
You wanted me to send my castings to you. lol
Yep, I wrote to a few people. I asked a couple people how much they were and both of them said that $45 was the norm.
One lady is selling hers for $60! Needless to say I didn't bite. How bout I buy some from you and re-sell them here? Trade castings for worms. heehee
LOL! I don't know if that is possible! Canadian authorities might have a fit. Search on google.
Here is a link that might be useful: Composters
Hi Tey,
I googled border crossings and worms can be brought into Canada provided they are not in dirt. So Coir and shredded newspaper would work.
Hmmmmmm wonder what shipping would be? Now I'm curious!
Or I just may make a trip to Michigan, buy some worms and sell them at a profit here. And bat my eyelashes and sweet-talk the guards when I explain my buckets of worms.
I can just see this.
I ran into worms as I was trying to get some rabbit manure. The man raised rabbits in a system called urine soak pits.
I would go and get as many five gallon buckets full that I wanted. The worms would be spilling out over the edges. It makes me feel bad for those who strain over counting by the hundreds and thousands. If I had a wrong setup for bedding and lost a bunch, I would offer to clean out his beds again and start over. I was able to experiment with all kinds of different stuff. Hope this helps....
check your area for the actual farms, i go out to a local worm farm and buy by the 5 gallon bucket. also set up your wet cardboard covered by ply board and check especially at day break the am after a rain. you will find all kinds under your cardboard. i set up two small 2foot x 4 foot about a month ago and have now added just over 300 worms to my pit from this source.
I just ordered 4000 worm for $117 AU here in Australia delivered (that's $106 US).
They also ship eggs world wide.
Here is a link that might be useful: Kookaburra Worm Farms
dont forget to use findworms.com
a huge listing of all over the world
Here is a link that might be useful: Herron Farms
The cheapest I can find right now are $24 shipped for one pound. I called several local bait shops and can't find any.
Here is a link that might be useful: Rainbow Worms
If you spend any time browsing the various vermicomposting forums, you will have read many accounts of people having problems with worms from online sellers. Sadly, although there are many honest & competent worm sellers, there are also many dishonest and/or incompetent ones. Like others here, I have a budget, but sometimes "cheap" doesn't save you money.
If you read through this whole thread, you will see many suggestions on how to find inexpensive or free local sources of worms. If those are not an option, then you will need to do some extra homework to avoid getting cheated.
This online compilation (with some reviews) is only a start. (btw, there's a larger list on a forum that has been banned from being mentioned here because they generate spam)
Here's a video showing what 1/4 lb., 1/2 lb. and 1 lb. of worms look like:
Here's a video of my own harvest of a cup of worms (~6-6.5 oz.):
The videos are FYI only. By the time you receive worms and see what you actually received, it will probably be too late. Best to do your homework well.
