Wormcomposting by PaulaWalla

I've been getting back into vegetable gardening and composting, so the next logical step was vermicomposting: making compost with the help of worms. Sounds gross, yes. In practice, it's not gross at all. It's really very simple! All you need is a bin, some newspaper, some red wiggler worms, and some kitchen scraps!
I created a blog to document my adventure in worm composting! Here are the first few posts:
January 29, 2010:
Well, I did it. I bought a worm composting bin on ebay from a gal whose worms died (RIP). Hopefully I have better luck.
In preparation, I read  , the famous worm composting book.
I downloaded instructions from the internet from two different surprising sources County of Santa Cruz Recycling Program and Happy D Ranch. Both are out west and completely unknown to me, but they had instructions for this type of worm bin. They differed slightly but I figured between the two of them and the book I read, I can't really go wrong. We'll see!
January 30, 2010:
I picked up some red wigglers from local composter Chuck Drake (who gave a seminar on composting last spring at the Windsor Historical Society) free of charge. Thanks Chuck! And I've gotten my bin started! I took pictures at each step.
You can see them and read more about my worm composting adventure on my worm composting blog.
