EARTHMASTER EARTHWORM CULTURE BED 133 



End Panels: 



10 pieces 1 x 6", 24" long. Note: 5 pieces used in each 

 end, spaced J4" apart, with 1 inch space between the comer 

 posts and end members of panel. 



Sub-Surface Divider: 



11 pieces lath (ordinary plasterer's lath), 33" long, with two 

 end lath 30" long. Space between lath about width of lath. (See 

 photos No. 7 and No. 9). 



Primary Cover (Photo No. 10): 



A light frame, 32J4" long by 32" wide, made of lath and 

 1 x 2" material and covered with a piece of gunny sack (tow 

 sack, sugar sack, burlap or other porous material). Note: When 

 cover is in place, contents of bed may be watered through the 

 cover with hose sprinkler or sprinkler can. Cover acts as a water 

 spreader. 



Supercover (Photos No. 10-11-12): 



A light frame 36 x 36" square, made of 1 x 2" or other light 

 material, covered with gunny sack. In addition, four side walls 

 are made by tacking an opened gunny sack (see photo No. 12) 

 to each of the four sides of frame, leaving one edge to hang 

 free. Thus, when not in use, the side curtains may be folded 

 back on top of frame as in photo No. 1. Or for protection 

 against excessive summer heat, or for protection against cold, 

 the walls may be dropped down as in photo No. 12. For pro- 

 tection against flooding rains, an extra cover should be provided, 

 made of a frame covered with roofing paper. All covers should 

 be of light construction, so that they may be readily lifted off 

 when the bed is serviced, or for other attention. 



Special Emphasis 



Study all photographs carefully for correct assembly and 

 nailing. It properly assembled and nailed together, the bed will 

 not become "wobbly" or pull apart
