You know you’re a compostaholic when…

…you return from a vacation and psyched on the moldy food in your fridge.

No matter how hard I try, I always have something that goes bad…but who cares.  In the compost it goes.  This time it was some tofurky, green peppers and grapes.

I split up the spoils amongst the worm bin and the composter, so the tofurky and grapes went to the worms, and the green peppers went to the tumbler.

Speaking of which, my new worm delivery was put on hold since I was on the left coast, and in the meantime it’s picked up an awesome amount of mold…check it out:

Is this a problem?  Nope.  Mold is not to be a concern in the bin.  It sure does look ugly, though.  If anything, before I drop the worms in, I’ll add some new bedding and stir the contents around a bit.  Other than that, no worries.  In fact, it would be pretty odd (and extremely rare if at all possible) if there wasn’t any mold activity.

Well, I’ll have the worms any day now, and as you can imagine, you’ll be seeing photos of them shortly after.  I guess I have a few days to come up with a thousand baby names…I’ll spray one fluorescent green so we can keep track and I’ll name it Charlie.  Just kidding.
