Down and Dirty

The worms are back at work eating through food waste, coffee grounds, and shredded newspaper. They have all ready started making castings, which will act like fertilizer in the garden. They seemed very happy to be inside where it is warmer, though the compost pile from which they were retreive seemed pretty warm. At least in their new home they won't have as many friends to compete with for food. Well, not for the time being anyway. If they are as happy as the worms last year, then we'll have babies again before the end of the year.
