Okay, I don't know why I need to make a blog about this. But, I guess I just wanted to share the experience as i go along.
A week ago, I had the opportunity to attend a UH Extension Composting worm workshop and got FREE composting worms.
I've been wanting to get some of these wrigglers for almost 2 years now and finally, I took the time to attend and got what I wanted.
So, I just wanted to share and document with you all my very first worm adventure.
When I first introduced my worms to their new environment it didn't seem as if they were enjoying themselves. In fact, I thought I was killing them and felt a little disheartened.
Then, today, I decided to take a look at them again after 2 days of not disturbing them and Bammm! There they are, even baby ones. I'm so excited! I feel like I want more.
So, what I'm doing is building a larger worm bin area, this time made of wood. As my first one is made of those plastic ones you see written about all over the internet.
I'm also researching to find out if these kinds of worms live in leaves. From what I know leaves don't hold a lot of moisture so you have to mix it with other water holding amendments like coconut husks and the like. Anyway, I'm just learning and will keep you all updated on my progress.
Wish me and my worms luck!!!
