Worm Bin Results: Barb Finnin Measures Us Up

We’ve been composting in our homemade worm bin for five months now. Through trials and tribulations, we’ve learned a lot about the right environment for worms! In fact we experimented so much that we managed to decimate our entire worm population. *Sigh*. Master composter and Freshtopia diva Barb Finnin came by to see how our worm bin was doing after all this time. Thank goodness she was so encouraging! She helped us haul our semi-composted compost (and dead worm population) to our new backyard composting bins where it can still be useful. We also get a look at a Wriggly Wranch, multi-layered worm bin that our neighbors purchased at a discount from our county waste management. Seems that if you can get the discount, the layered method is the way to go. We will try again using homemade methods, but this time we’ll have a little bit more knowledge to keep our worms alive. Thanks Barb!
