We have worms

May 3rd, 2007 at 12:13 pm

We have worms...in a bin in the back yard..they are supposed to eat garbage....food waste and such...

I was on my way to the store to buy a bin and then call some contacts to get worms, when my contact said she had a bin and the worms and all ready for me, just swing on by and get it.

very cool since my husband did not want to spend the money on worms.

I still have to call my wonderful friend and ask her what on earth I am supposed to do with them now that I have them.....

    You definitely need to visit this Vermicomposting forum at http://forums.gardenweb.com/forums/verm/ The most important thing is not to get the contents too wet, but if you are doing this outside in a bottomless bin of some sort, that should be no problem. You can also do it inside. "Worms Eat My Garbage" is a good book. There is another, too, whose name I can't recall, but it came out about 3 years ago and should be in the catalog of a good public library.

    (When I woke up this morning I looked across the room at the shelf where the Singapore Math books are, and recalled my delinquency in getting back to you about them. I have my own blog entry to make and them I PROMISE I'll "e" you with details on the books.)

    My mom composted with worms for years and years. She used to keep them in a bin under her bed...they ate vegetable scraps and newspaper.

    She had a beautiful garden, too, from all that mulch!

    I used to keep my worms in a plastic storage bin in my basement. They seemed to like it ok, cus it was shady and cool down there, but i could never get over the feeling of being creeped out by the thought of hundreds of worms crawling around down there and i was afraid someday they'd escape, come up the stairs and GET ME!

    I'm jealous. I've always wanted a worm bin, but never got around to building one. Tons of info on the net about worm bins, what to feed them, how & when to pull out the composted dirt (actually worm castings)......sometimes called Black Gold by gardeners.
    Price this stuff in a garden center & you'll be more than grateful you have your own source!

    Contrary, It is a plastic rubbermaid bucket with holes and stuff in it...I don't think it would take much time for a real gardener!

    Fern that is halarious! and I so am not putting one in my house....not that worms would want anywhere near me...but..squishing worms underfoot...ewwwww!

    Robex, I have a brown thumb, so nothing pretty is comming of this, but..well I have hopes I guess...

    Joan, I read a lot of that forum, thanks, I think I need to do something about how wet they are...they are outside..and it rained...not good I guess.

    Nana, you need to read up on worm composting..they eat garbage! apparently there is a book called worms eat my garbage you can find at the library Smile (I am headed there in a couple days to find it)
