Today I will be loading two Wonder Worman Super Composting Worm Bin packages and heading south to Rosland Elementary School in La Pine. They were granted the resources from the Environmental Center’s Earth Smart Grant to purchase supplies. The Earth Smart Grant is funded by various local organizations and awarded to schools that plan on reducing their waste by either increasing their recycling efforts or composting.
Visiting schools is the best part of my job. The kids are amazing! The smiles, squeals and laughter upon seeing and holding the red wigglers makes my efforts so worth it! Pictures to come soon!

This is totally awesome! I have some raised garden beds for you to buy. They even have worm some remnants of worm poopies left inside so you can blend them in with your top soil.
If you live in Central Oregon, come on over and give me $150. I will gladly give you a beautifully made raised garden bed! Please let me know before you head my way…..reply below :^)

Cool wigglings happening in Tumalo!
This is my third year working with Tumalo Community School. For the past two years, they were vermicomposting in a few classrooms, but this year they have decided to include the rest of the school community with the eagerness of Mr. W. The school received grants through the Environmental Center to purchase worms and other educational materials. This year they decided to “go big” with a Wonder Worman Super Composting Bin to accomodate all of the waste. I was more than happy to jump aboard, deliver the bin and donate my time in the cafeteria to get the program wiggling. For the past 4 days, I have been roaming the cafeteria collecting fruit and veggie scraps while educating the kids along the way. The students are avoiding the trash can if they have usable food waste and dumping it into the wiggler bucket. It’s awesome to see them make the connection, and soon they will be ready to take the wiggling reigns.
My plan is to continue visiting during the lunch hour for the remainder of the week. Then reduce my time to once a month to check on the wigglers.

Spring is the time when I begin to think about my raised flower and vegetable beds, potted plants, budding trees, poking perennials and, OF COURSE, harvesting my valuable, super rich red wiggler castings. My Red Wigglers have been munching and pooping for months and are ready to move into some comfy, fresh bedding.
I am ready to get my hands dirty – are you? If you’re a vermicomposter in Bend and prefer keeping your hands worm poop free, but still want to reap the rewards of your red wigglers, I’ve got a solution for you! At the request of several local vermicomposters, I will now be providing a Spring “cleaning” service to make sure your worms are good to go for the upcoming growing season. Presenting:

4 months ago I introduced some Red Wigglers to Alpaca poop, and they are getting along pretty well! The wigglers are making themselves at home and are comfortable enough to get busy. They are mating and making more happy and healthy cute little wigglers in the muck. The proof is in the picture. It kind of looks like a deformed Red Wiggler, but it’s actually two wigglers together. I didn’t want to keep them uncovered too long. So I quickly took this shot, then covered them back with a nice squishy layer of poopy.
I am happy to report these wigglers are doing well and have not perished like the ones that were in the bunny poop!
