How were you introduced to vermicomposting?: I had a vermicomposter back in the early 1990's but by mother threw my worms out when I went on vacation.

What do your worms like to eat?: So far, I started off this new colony with bananas, sweet potatoes, carrots, beet greens...

What kinds of worms do you have?: 1/ 2 lb of Red wrigglers from Cathy's Composters - http://www.cathyscomposters.com/products.html

What worm bins do you use?: I just started them off in the compost bin until I can get or make a proper indoor bin.

How many pounds of garbage do your worms recycle each week?: I will soon find out.

About Me:: I decided to try vermicomposting again to introduce my daughter, Violet Kiwi, to the joys of worms and composting. She's only 1yr old but a curious girl. I noticed that Violet eats quite a bit of food and wastes a lot as well and I thought that having a vermicomposter would help encourage better composting. I also want to start a colony for my father's garden.

There's a guy in Quebec that makes a wooden composter out of Spruce and then I might consider the Worm Factory for it's compactness.

how exciting, I'm so glad to have some other "locals" here to chat with!
