Worm Bin and Transplanting

This morning I decided to only do a few basic chores that must be done and then get busy with my worm bin. We have the worm bin in our kitchen and nobody even knows it unless we have told them what it was. It doesn't stink at all.



Well I have always thought this was a great thing but after this morning I realized how great of a thing it really is. First I put a garbage sack on the outside porch, could have used a piece of wood or anything but that was handy and it wasn't warm out there yet. Then I dumped the contents of the worm bin onto the sack.




I left it for a few minutes to give the worms a chance to go down in the pile where it was dark. While I waited I made sure the bin was clean out and started laying peatmoss mixed with some garden soil on the bottom of the bin. Then I layered the bin with shredded moistened newsaper and continue to layer to the top. By this time the worms were deep in the pile and I started just scooping up that beautiful rich wonderful material with my hands. When I found worms I just threw them back in the bin. There was a few piles of uncomposted food and that was where most of the worms were so I just threw all of that back in the bin.
