Getting started with the Worm Inn Pt. 2

So today I completed the Worm Inn, and I didn't even use the stand anyway. I went out and got the piping to build the stand, spent the time cutting it with my new vise that I hardly use, and had a lot of fun doing it.

I, of course, did neither so…

I started realizing how much I miss composting outside as we've had a lot of frigid, crappy weather over the last week or two. The worms have really become friends of mine... I like to put my ear right up to the surface and listen to them wriggle around and munch. I also noticed that being a household of one, I still feel like I can overwhelm my worm bin at times...so what should I do? Order a Worm Inn and another pound of red wigglers, that's what. I heard about the Worm Inn from Bentley Christie of course, and I was instantly curious: Check out Bentley's Worm Inn overfeeding video series starting here... I was sold! Yes, he's being deliberately obnoxious with the amount of material he's putting in,…
