how do you keep worms alive in the wintertime in bathtubs.   I had a bathtub set up last year almost like you have just dripped into a bucket instead of a plumbed to a barrel which I like that idea   My worms froze overwinter though    I was thinking of taking them out of the tub overwinter and put into protein tubs in my shed for winter    I also thought about putting straw all around the bathtubs and trying to insulate   I dont wanna lose my worms again so was hoping you have done it successfully

Also how did you plumb in to the barrel

Now days almost all herbal tea can be purchased in tea bags to use in your ice tea brewer.

You have missed out on some great posts about herbal ice tea, here are a couple:

I love ice tea in my tea maker  Take 5 bags of tea and put in mr tea let it brew add stevia then add water when done for a gallon of ice tea.    I have been starting to grow some herbs and was thinking I should learn to make my own ice tea but I see most people talk about making hot herbal teas     Does anybody have good herbal tea that is good as ice tea rather than hot    I would like one that I can put in my tea maker but sun tea would work as well

I have a couple questions    How did your onions do in the wood chips  any problems or did they flourish   How old are the wood chips  and did you move the chips back till you hit dirt to put bulbs in or just bury into the wood chips.   I have been putting in an orchard and have wood chips between the trees and am trying to figure out what to plant between the trees in the wood chips  I love the idea of onions and garlic in the wood chips
