First thing in the morning I went to a worm farm. I learned a lot. And now I'm a farmer Came home with this. He sold all to me for the price of a pound of worms, and set it all up for me. I probably have 2 pounds of worms. Very nice man.

Way cool Donna, I have been mulling over getting a worm farm started. I keep thinking and thinking and thinking......Maybe someday soon I will do it, though. Keep us up to date on how you take care of it and feed them and if there is enough castings to make this worth your investment and time. please?
An interesting undertaking I will look forward to hearing more as the season progresses. Are you going to preprocess their food? Chop or grind? Jerry
I love the trellis and can't wait to see them covered with plants. The greenhouse.... well what can I say it makes me green with envy! Your bear is adorable... and has his own shovel too! Mine just stands there looking cute.
Springs getting closer. But only 29* this morning. Worm man said to feed the worms once a week approx. 1/2 lb. chicken mash, eggshells and something a little wet. If I want to collect castings put a piece of watermelon on top and worms will go directly to it. He said in about a month I can remove 1/4 of worms and add them to compost or gardens. Besides the worms there are hundreds of eggs in box already. So It should prove interesting if I don't kill them.
