new worms

15 years ago

I'm officially a rookie! 5 lbs came today. The price break was too good to pass up. I picked up a tote for the 10 year old neighbor boy. I put 3 lbs in a long wooden box, 1/2 lb in a small flow-thru trash can, 1 lb in the tote and 1/2 lb in my outdoor compost pile. I should be back with a "what do I do?" post on Saturday or Sunday but today I'm cool.

Red worm composting. He is out of Canada but the worms were Kentuckian.
I recognize both accents! They are doing that thing that they do and everyone is Fonzi - cool.

That's a LOT of squiggly wrigglers.

Hey, you could order worms across the border? Geez, if I want houseplants they want a CITES certificate.
