Being a Northwest native, I am constantly evolving into a more and more “green” person (please discount the mini-van and inefficient, large-ish house). We’ve been able to put our food scraps into the yard waste bin for years now and we recycle anything we can. But lately I’ve been wishing that instead of having all the yard waste taken away every week and buying yards of compost every summer, I should just be making my own. And as the cheesy video about vermicomposting says, turn your garbage into gold. Okay, fertile worm castings isn’t anything you would wear as a necklace, but I’ve got more use for good dirt than more jewelry.
This should have been a 30-minute job, burying the bin and putting bricks down (to keep the worm-eating moles out). But once one runs into a rock and has to shift the hole over a foot, move a rhody that has been growing there for decades, take care of a few kids, level and relevel (and relevel) bricks, it could take more than than three hours.
But look! At last, a mole-resistant cedar worm bin! I’ve got the first batch of garbage and peat moss down—I just need the worms.
