In, Out, and Around the Garden

We "completed" the worm bin today, and it is HUGE. Toby did a great job sticking to the task of building is 99% from scraps found on the farm. This morning Gus and Freja helped to rip up lots of newspaper and gather a good amount of old chicken straw to provide a soft bed for worms. We then hightailed it over to our friend Cheryl's house and absconded with a bowl full of wrigglers. We gave them lots of stinky compost to munch on and hope that they take to their new home. In the end, if we are lucky, we will close one more loop of consumerism in our lives and give back to the garden that which is gives to us: food.
