Red worms, Eat up!

On 9-6-2011  Today, I made a new lid for the worm bin with wire mesh screen, cardboard and duct tape. It fits snug at most places, but the corners. We will see if any of my wigglers attempt escape.

My oldest son, TJ, got a glimpse of some worms and mushrooms and he as impressed. He said I had my own little ecosystem :) He is correct!

I added fresh newspaper bedding to keep down the smell of the composting veggies. And some water as it looked so dry. I have a cardboard box bin inside a plastic tub worm bin right now. I ripped up the cardboard box inside the plastic worm bin, so they can get started eating it. They are already working their way through the bottom of the cardboard box into the plastic worm bin.
