Worm bin checkup (finally!).....believe it or not, I haven't looked in on my wormy friends since late March! Good thing they're such low-maintenance pets!
So here's the sight when I opened the bin....it looked and felt like earth. Not just dirt, but textured, moist earth...like middle-earth, y'know, Lord of the Rings-type stuff! Cool!
So I dig around for tenants, and here they are! Not huge, but not as small as what I started with, so the "fattening mix" must be working to an extent. All looked lively and not deformed or anything...goodie!
So after I dug around and inspected to my satisfaction, time to add some new layers...first, finely shredded paper from a box of something I got in the mail...
....then a layer of paper I shredded myself...
....and now for some food scraps. These were previously frozen then thawed (breaks down the cellular structure and makes it more quickly available to the worms).....continued next post....
