I got a worm farm! Since I started trying to grow my own food and composting I've wanted one but with moving it was just one more thing to move.

So now we've moved and I have one!

Big thanks to @Uselessgeneration colleague who passed on his old worm farm.

Pretty sure I'm more excited than the average person to have pet worms now! They're mainly going to be used for composting my dog's poop - will definitely report back on how that goes!

This half a pumpkin touched the back of my fridge and got frozen, because my fridge is an AH that way, so I decided to gift it to the worms in my worm casting storage/ secondary processing bin. They seem to appreciate it.

I came back later and gently scooped up the majority of these wrigglers and put them in the worm farm where there is plenty more to eat!

@hannu_ikonen check out bokashi bins, I believe that'd be the most indoor friendly way of #composting - bonus points for being able to use it for citrus, onion, and garlic peel as well as coffee grounds. We placed ours under the kitchen sink, and use two rotating bins, then cycle it though a #vermicompost #wormfarm with added #charcoal to inoculate the #carbon structure with #microorganisms and make #biochar. This should be installed outside though, or at least in a garage type of space. With its small footprint, even a balcony space works well. It may take some time to get a feel for what works best for your situation, all part of the journey 🪱♻️ The quality and potency of the #wormtea and solids is amazing - your plants will 💚 it!
