Worm Bin

Today I spent a little time plotting out the garden on paper, and then in the afternoon Josephine and I went and got more compost and . . . worms! Then it was time to make a home for the worms. First I had to plot out where all the holes would be.


Next I drilled the holes.


Then I shredded a bunch of newspaper and moistened it.


Then the yuckiest part . . . pouring in the food scraps and then mixing them all up within the newspaper.


Next, the worms!


Finally, I sprinkled some dirt from the garden over the top.


Then I left it out, lid off, in the light for a while to encourage the worms to burrow down deep and start eating away.
