worms and earth day

Apr 22, 2009 23:02

i find it a little funny that my efforts to start composting have really begun today, on earth day. my worms arrived today. i was very excited. i brought home more coffee grounds, so i unloaded all the packets of those first. then i added the bottom layer of bedding that i moistened first to the bin. spread and fluffed that out. then i opened up the compost canister and sumped everything all over the bin. next i opened up the worm package and spread them out as best i could all over the food, and placed another moist bedding layer above them, and closed up teh container. about an house later i checked on them, some of them have crawled up the sides and were hanging out on the cover, lol.

hopefully i will get the hang of this and so will my worms. i think they are a little confused/ in shock still. hopefully they all survive.

i introduced a friend to vermicomposting today, think she might take a stab at it. always good to find new ways to help cut down on waste. makes me feel proud to be doing my part, even if its for selfish reasons(free compost)
