Worm Bin Construction Friday 01/14/11

This was the day we've been looking forward to! LEAF participants, PHS garden club and first graders welcomed new inhabitants to the deck garden. Our garden is now home to 8500 red wiggler worms. Club members and the first grade set up a worm bin in our deck garden! We selected a cool dry space for them to live in. We added volcanic stones and mulch and gave our thirsty friends a little drink of water. Now each week we will feed them chopped up table scraps and we should see them reproducing and producing lots of worm tea! Visit our worm source at their website www.unclejim.com
