BYE, BYE, WORMIES!

A couple of months ago, I mentioned I was contemplating starting a second worm bin. The worm population had increased So Much from feeding them Uncle Jim’s Worm Food that the worm bin seemed over-crowded. (In actuality, I don’t know how many worms in a worm bin is too many worms so that was more the observation of an introvert who thinks another car on the road is too crowded.)

Of course, I could also feed my excess worms to the chickens. The Girls were rooting for that option!

I went with a third option: I put them in the raised bed planters I created this Spring.

Now that the plants in them sufficiently established, today was moving day for the first group of worms. I scooped a trowel full of worms out of the bin and transferred them to the lettuce and green pepper bed.

I split the “wad” into three piles throughout the 8-foot bed and let them dig themselves into the soil.

Those are going to be some happy worms!
