May 25th, 2010 It’s Hot
It’s almost 90 degrees today. I’ve been so worried about my plants that I forgot to consider the worms. I looked in the bottom of the bin today and found at least 20 – 25 worms all huddled in the bottom, near the liquid. I assume they’re hot. Well, that and the 1st bin is now mostly castings. Not sure why they chose to go down instead of up where the food is… anyway, I put all the wayward worms into the 2nd bin. There really wasn’t that much food in the 2nd bin so I put a bunch of kitchen scraps in and added more moistened newspaper. The worms should be happy there. I’ll wait a while till most of the worms move into the 2nd bin and then I’ll take the vermicompost to use in my garden. It’s not all that much so I may use it as side dressing for the new plants.
