Wormy Stuff!

Wow! I am fired up about composting with worms...it seems much easier than making a compost bin, etc. The worms do all the work! Of course I do have to supply them with some bedding...shredded newspaper.

Check out this link at wikihow.com on how to compost with worms. It may take me a few weeks to get everything together (ie, order the worms) but I hope to have a full report soon...

I plan to give it a try soon...
