Red Wigglers are Thriving

I woke up this morning, it’s Day 3, and I eagerly opened up the bin. Only one red wiggler climbed up to the rim of the bin last night, so that’s encouraging.

They must like their new home. I tucked the little guy back down under where his buddies were and closed it back up after giving a little spritz of water to keep it moist.

I keep wanting to search through for that Black Gold even while knowing it’s too soon.

I do have to keep checking though, to see how much food is in there. It’s not a given that 1/2 a pound of wigglers will eat the amount of food I put in there in a week, so until I know how much they are putting away each day, I’m going to have to keep checking to make sure they have enough and that the bedding is moist enough.

I suspect they will eat what I put in there before a week is done, 1/2 a pound of worms doesn’t sound like much but hokey! I found a bigger pile of worms in the bag than I anticipated. It looked like twice as many worms as food.

I don’t know, it’s all new to me!

But, for those who know me, I’m aways up for new adventures. I haven’t even got the last adventure finished, but I guess that’s how I roll.
