In the play kitchen

Four preschoolers are playing in the kitchen center, making pretend meals, filling up the shopping cart, (using the credit card), and washing dishes. They've started playing "worm bin"! They take some of the food to an imaginary worm bin. We had discussed adding eggshells and banana peels to the class worm bin during circle time, so they were taking lots of eggs to the imaginary worms, plus lots of pizza. It's a learning process, but still a fun development!

July 21 Update

I am amazed. My 1 pound of european nightcrawlers completely devoured about 3 pounds of previously frozen food in 3 days. Watermelon rinds, tomato, broccoli, and asparagus bits are all gone... well, except for the really cool paper-like skins that the worms can't digest readily. I'll have to toss in some more defrosted food from the freezer cache tonight! I would estimate that my red worms are probably eating much less than half of their mass in food each day, but that might be explained by the… Continue

first crawl

Well tonight I experienced my first crawl..I had to work late and had left it to my loyal partner and housemate to raise the lid and turn on the light..I was gonna call him from work to remind him but didn't get around to it. Well when I got home the worms were all over the walls of the bin like spaghetti and a few had crawled out. I rescued what I hope were all of the worms and gently pushed the ones on the walls back onto the surface of the bedding. Then I left on the light and soon they all d… Continue

Mid July 2008

Well we are nearing the end of July here and starting to enter the monsoon season so the humidity is starting to pick up. With the increase in humidity I am seeing more worm lechate from the spigot. My worms are making a great comeback after the disaster of '08. I have started to work the vermicompost into my garden system and hope to see improved growth. I have been adding a teaspoon of vermipost as a top dressing to each plant on a weekly basis. I will also be working on creating my own vemico… Continue

Thanks for the comment Bing. I checked on them this morning just lightly moving a little bedding to have a look. They seemed pretty happy under there. I didn't see any balls of worms or dead ones or roamers so I think ..so far so good. I'm still a little nervous about feeding so I'm gonna hold off for a while. there is enough food there for a few days at any rate and I really dont want to over feed them yet.. plenty of time for feeding later. I think that is the most difficult thing about wormin… Continue
