Worms!
The worms have arrived! We followed all the instructions and put them into their new home last night. They seem to be settling in nicely already - when I checked this morning they were tucking into their food already.
The worms are in the left hand compartment here - for those unfamiliar with worms and wormeries - the idea is that you fill up one compartment first, then start on the next. By the time you've filled the third one the first should be nice useable compost! There are holes between each section so the worms can move through them to find the food, and holes in the bottom to let the air in (which is why the newspaper on the bottom - we don't want the worms falling out!).

Oooooooooooooh exciting stuff! Maybes next on the list for us. Right now it's the chickens!
ReplyDeleteYeah - chickens are part of the bigger plan! (along with the ducks, geese, bees, alpacas, cows, goats, dogs etc etc..... Lol!)
ReplyDeleteThey are very exciting though - it's amazing watching them wiggling about!

I'll take your word for it: you could just have a bit of soil and paper in there and we'd never know ;-))
