Worm Bin World

DSC05302

There’s a new layer on the worm bin.  I built it in about 1/2 hour from recycled fence posts.

I had to add a “third story” because the worms slow down in winter and our food scraps were building up faster than the worms could consume.

And I hate to admit it, but my bin has mice living inside.  They’re cute, but somehow I feel like they don’t really belong.  Are they eating the worms or do they just roll around in the scraps harmlessly?

    Did you notice the blooming daphne poking through the fence? The flowers smell good!

    I have mice in my bin too. Not the vermin I was looking for, but I suppose I can’t be picky.

    I read that if you turn the compost daily it deters them. But that means I have to remember to turn the compost daily.

    Nice bin! I just got a plastic bin from freecycle but I would like a wooden one. Now I just need to get some worms.
