Worms!

Tonight, for my birthday, I went to a workshop put on by the Town of Cary about composting, and specifically, vermicomposting - that's worms!

I didn't really look into the class too much before hand, but once I got there I realized that not only would we learn all about compost worms, but we would get to make our own worm compost bin to take home...including a half-pound of worms! AND! This was all free!

So, now we've got a little worm bin in the kitchen with a half-pound of worms chomping away. Hopefully within six months or so, they'll have grown and multiplied so much that they outgrow their box. At that point, they should be eating pounds of food scraps each week. We shall see, though.
