Probably not, I am sure of that, but to my red wigglers this is heaven on a stick. The nastier the better. They will devour this mess of mush in about 2 weeks, and I will keep track of this for the week. I am home for a week from my “other” job due to a surgery so I need a Wonder Worman project to keep me busy. I have decided to document the progress of bin #1.
Not sure if you can tell what all of this is???
– 3/4 of a watermelon
-3 coffee filters
-carrots…not sure how many
-cabbage leaves…from my garden (which the deer have eaten…another blog for that one)
-apple core and some egg shells
I shall see how long this takes. I just threw the waste on top of the bedding and have covered the food with large sheets of newspaper. I will be back tomorrow to show another picture. Happy worming!!!

Last Wednesday morning, I was reading The Source, the weekly newspaper in Bend. They have a section called “Cold Call” where they go around town asking various questions. This weeks question was “Who is your favorite super hero?” A past worm buyer named Susan said “Wonder Worman.” I was laughing so hard and quickly showed my husband. Holy Cow, I am someones super hero. She went on to mention the worms and my business. To see the complete interview check out this weeks Source!

My vegetable garden seems to be nearing the end of it’s growing season. We have eaten a lot of squash and snap peas! This has been out first year with the garden, and I am so pleased with the results.
We started the garden in late May, planting some from starters and some from seeds. They both grew rather well. When we began, we added soil from the local garden center. With some of the seeds/plants, I added my worm castings. They did rather well and was asked by many of the neighbors “Did you use fertilizer?” I just told them it was the castings.
We also used a cloth over the top which was used on the cold spring nights. We took those off in early July.
I look forward to doing this again next year.

I had the chance to speak at The Environmental Center in Bend on Feb 10, 2009. The night was sponsored by The Juniper Club Sierra Group. The turn out was terrific, 40 plus and their enthusiasm was amazing. The focus was on the benefits of composting with worms and also how to set up worm bins. Many of the people came with their own plastic bins, shredded newspaper and peat moss. I was able to share my experience and show lots of photos.
Probably not, I am sure of that, but to my red wigglers this is heaven on a stick. The nastier the better.
