Three months ago, I wondered if vermicompost will help cure one my sick Chocolate Mints. As a background, my mints (all of them!) got hit by some sort of disease that caused them to become leggy at best and dead at worst. So I thought maybe the good microbes in vermicompost will stem the tide. Well it's been three months since I shoveled in some vermicompost into the pot (about a shovel-ful and only once during the three-month period). I wouldn't jump up and down in excitement, but I am glad the Chocolate Mint looks better. So at the end of this experiment, I would call this inconclusive. Next time, I'll be more aggressive in adding vermicast. Thursday, February 03, 2011
