G.R.A.F. GP units are all based on the belief that you need good soil to grow good food. The Growing medium is rough compost, worms, castings and coir. Rough compost and castings can be made (see G.R.A.F. System How To) or purchased along with coir and worms at Growing Power, 55th and Silver Spring.
Worm Condo
The main purpose of the worm condo is to be a work area which worms can eat compost and produce castings or “black gold.” Castings are valuable growing soil that can be used as part of the rich sil to grow plants in, to directly fertilize plants or make “tea.” A “worm condo” is a valuable asset to every home model GP garden or community garden on vacant lots in the city.
Our worm condo is outside, a single unit, and was built by my son’s friend Loren Browne, a professional painter and home improvement person (265 7822), in the spring of 06. It is more like Will Allens original ones. It is made from scrape wood and is 34″H X 34″W X 54″L. The box is off the ground and the back post are higher than the front. There is a plastic liner under the box and the base of the box have open spots so the ‘tea’ runs through and is collected in the front of the box.
