Worms, Worms, Worms


Red Wigglers

I started worm composting a couple days ago. This morning i moved them into the kitchen because it is to cold in the garadge. I have read that many people keep the bin in the kitchen. i am not so sure about that. I think for now it is fine but when the weather gets warmer they can go outside.
So far i have fed them stale bread, egg shells,carrots and coffee grounds. They seem to really like the coffee. I will wait to feed them more until i see they are settled more and eating. The worms may not be eating because they were to cold. The one thing i have noticed is that there is a LOT of worm lovin' going on!!!!
For those that don't know i worked with a researcher who did studies with worms when i was in college. I grew very attached to the squirmy little guys so it had been really fun for me to start this project.

I was sad to see that you did not name a worm after me. I thought I was your friend! *sniff*
