Worms and Garden


We bought a worm compost bin for the kitchen this weekend at the World Hunger Relief Farm Day. Lena has really taken to feeding them kitchen scraps. Hopefully we can get it going enough to put it in a bigger bin eventually. We plan on using the compost for our garden. We have one kind of started but it was pretty unintentional. As you can see in the picture there are pumpkin vines, and decomposing oranges. While Lena and I were digging a hole to plant our gourd seeds (intending to make bird houses once they grow) I also noticed that a peach pit has sprouted some growth. I was trying to do some composting outside with the kitchen scraps but it is a little unsightly. I will eventually need to find somewhere to move it.

  1. I just bought an EnviroCycle - it is my Christmas present - I got money for Christmas and saved it for the purchase. I'm hoping to use it for kitchen scraps and eventually Mamasela's g-diapers http://www.envirocyclesystems.com/

    I bet Lena LOVES feeding the worms!
