Update on using CB to draw worms

9 years ago

last modified: 9 years ago

So i have an oyster shell driveway from lots of part time shucking. Over time, weeds grew between the shells, causing me vexation. My solution was to cover the drive with CB for several months, and my theory was that this would both kill weeds and draw worms. The results are in, and it worked better than i imagined. Peeling up the partially rotted CB, i found that all soil there had become black as night (become castings). On top of this, it seems that the worms which came ate at least half of the oyster shells. A pecan tree resides next to this drive, and its nuts look fat and plentiful this year. I post this so that others can learn from my trial. One can enrich ground simply by laying CB for a month or two. If anyone wants, i can post a pic tomorrow when I'm off work. Happy worming!

The way I learned is the first time you used an abbreviation or acronym in a writing it should be spelled out.

Example: Use No Acronyms (UNA).

Otherwise they mean different things to different people.

<My solution was to cover the drive with CB for several months> Since I don't like to assume (I think I know) but will ask - what do you mean when you say "CB"?

I like encouraging minds to fill in blanks. Spelling everything out encourages mental sloth. Also, nobody has chimed in on using CB to draw worms, its merits or demerits. I feel we are losing the forest for the trees. But it is whatevs :D

<Also, nobody has chimed in on using CB to draw worms, its merits or demerits.> Could it be that "nobody" knew what you were saying?

I like to be sure of the question before I tax my sloth.

Hey don't shoot the messenger.

<Gumby, get real. What would CB mean in this forum. Pulling up partially rotted C**** B****? Focus on those trees bud ...> I like to focus on communications skills. Give it a try.

FWIT, I re-read the original post and I didn't see a question. The original poster was, quote: "" I post this so that others can learn from my trial"".

Subsequent comments have nothing to do w. CB or VC but made some activity. A proof this forum is still alive unlike the "other" one.
