Red Wigglers and Garbage Disposals

A friend of mine just forwarded me an interesting article he heard on NPR this morning. Raleigh, N.C. is having issues with their sewer lines and garbage disposals. I knew many people were putting kitchen waste down the disposal thinking they were reducing the waste in the landfill. Yes they are reducing the waste, but they can also recycle their waste at home without damaging the sewer lines. I used to put veggie waste down there too before I had red wigglers. Now I am putting that waste in my worms bins and producing super rich compost for my gardens and indoor plants. Whether or not people use red wigglers, I think it is so important to compost.

Web site is finished

It is done and am so happy to say it! I met the deadline I set and things look cool. I still need to add some pictures and Harold is reviewing the material.

My website is www.wonderworman.com. Red wigglers are pretty amazing creatures. Even in these frigid temperatures in Bend, they are still working. Well the ones I have are insulated with hay. I am sure if they were in the ground out in “the wild” they would figure out a way. Well they do figure out a way..they go deep in the ground, below the freezing line.
I will see what happens in a few weeks with the website. I am excited!
