I'm just thinking maybe you could do this and put the worm bin outside your back door? Thinking of you braving the cold in winter in your bathrobe is making me feel chilly!

I really thought when you were talking about your worms you were doing the vermiculture (the scientific term for those indoor composting worms) I did it once with Marshall's 6th grade class. It didn't really work, but I'm not sure they did the best job tending them. So I dumped the whole thing in the compost pile at home. <BR/>I couldn't see your compost picture so I'm going to check your flickr for it, cause you made me laugh!Jackiehttp://smoothpebble.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1088321428192937176.post-63499607209141367742009-03-27T19:26:00.000-04:002009-03-27T19:26:00.000-04:00No, but probably should.

I went home and threw everything in the fridge older than 4 days in a pile in the backyard. Grandma was not pleased. <BR/>And turns out that Grandpa didn't like my selection of location - right next to his latest outdoor project: boat building. <BR/>I will try again in my own yard one day :)Unlimitedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02378352597023255872noreply@blogger.com
