Jeff, I hope you found some canna Red Wine. It is difficult to find anymore because of the virus issue. Kent

Sherry, I would recommend going with a commercial strength product made specifically for grout, rather than an all purpose cleaner picked up in a grocery store. There are two companies whose products I've used. Might not be readiliy available for you, but I'd suggest looking into them. TEC: specializes in tile products, grout, sealers, cleaners, etc. So their deep cleaning grout cleaner might be worth a try. TEC products are readily available from a lot of hardware stores that carry flooring items as well as flooring stores. They also have a toll free number you can call for advice on which product to use. Perhaps they can offer a suggestion for the wine on the grout, and maybe let you order directly from them as well? If you go to link below and scroll down, you'll see a deep cleaning grout cleanser. Might work on the wine. TileLab is another company who's sealer I've used. Works pretty good. I found it at Home Depot. If you go to their website they have a "Tile and Stone Care Wizard" . Tell them what your problem is, and they will link you to the product. I went there and chose "Remove Deep Set Stains" and they have a product just for that. I see you're from NM, if you click on "where to buy" at the left side of the page and it looks like they have a lot of dealers in NM. Otherwise, when I Googled "grout cleaner" I did see an "Oxy" grout cleaner. Maybe that would be easier to pick up in a small town? Here is a link that might be useful: Tec Grout Cleaner

I decided to go with the Eurocave for the following reason: 1. In addition to temperature, it also monitors/controls humidity. 2. The posters over on the cellartracker website forum had a lot of very positive things to say about the Eurocave. It is apparently very quiet and it sounds like it will do what I want. Those guys seem to really know their wine. 3. When I was on the phone with the Eurocave salesperson asking questions about the device, he gave me a 10% discount and free shipping which made it cheaper than the Perlick. I looked at the Liebherr online and it looked like it is also a good choice. They however seemed more directed towards the European market and I wasn't certain where I could get replacement charcoal filters. PS: I did some more research on basements here. It turns out they are not outlawed, just no one has them because they are cost prohibitive. I suspect it has something to do with the costs of digging out sand and still making the house/bluff stable. I, however, read that Mitt Romney put one in, so if you have the money, it sounds like it is possible.

I let mine come and go as they please. Sometimes there are more than others. I've had a compost pile for 20 years. Some years you can't turn a fork over and see a worm. Other years they are everywhere. I guess my point is that if you put new worms on soil that is not ready for them, or it's a bad year for worms, they might all die. If you want to improve your soil, use organic fertilizer like soybean meal, alfalfa meal or pellets, corn meal, corn gluten meal, or Milorganite. App rate is 15 to 20 pounds per 1,000 square feet.
