These are seedling trays on top of our nursery table/bed. Under the table is one of our vermi-bins. Our earthworms are target fed. We feed them according to what kind of vermicast we want to produce. To learn more about this technique, all you have to do is ask...
As of now, I think (I think) we're the only ones practicing this technique.

Thank you for visiting our blog. A few weeks from now I will be posting a step by step guide on how to start a small vermicomposting bin in your backyard.
Thank you for this comment, you gave me an idea on what to post next.
I already started my vermi-project at home. I'm very interested in this thing called target-feeding of worms. Does it mean not all vermicasts are the same. Can you please elaborate more on what are the best substrate/bedding? Thanks po.
target feeding earthworms is simpler than it sounds. you just have to know the active ingredients of the plant or plant parts your feeding them. example, you want more potassium in your vermicompost, feed them banana or papaya.
Hello, Raymond and Mariel here. We started this blog to share the developments of our small farm to all of you. We decided to call it the Daily DOSE Farm. DOSE stands for Diverse, Organic, Sustainable and Eco-friendly. Our farm is Diverse because, although small, it is home to about 100 kinds of vegetables and herbs. It also shelters hundreds of different insects, a few species of birds and billions of beneficial fungi and bacteria. We practice Organic farming. Not a drop of pesticide or a granule of synthetic fertilizer is used in our farm. We hate chemicals! We only use the best compost we can produce, freshly brewed compost tea, and the wisdom nature gave us. We support Sustainable agriculture. For us, we are only borrowing our land from our future kids and grandchildren, so we must preserve its fertility. From our farm to our stores we follow Eco-friendly practices. We use recyclable materials for packaging and encourage people to shop bringing reusable shopping bags. Shoppers with reusable bags get discounts and freebies. Join us in making our world better. We can’t imagine Mother Earth being worse than what she is today.
