I started my worm farm about a month or so ago and I got my worms out in my own yard. One harvest I got about 300 and today I got another 370 or so. Then whenever I plant something new I will find a few in the ground and add them or after it rains and they surface. I have shown my little neighbor boy who is 4 yrs old and he is very interested in what I am doing. Today he wanted to show another neighbor friend of his one of the worms, so asked me to put a glove on him so he could take it over to show her as he didn’t want it in his bare hand It is a neat hobby. Mine is in an old compost bin I had that never produced compost as didn’t have enough sun in my yard….so worms love it…as it is moist, dark with lots of scraps from our table.

My silly boyfriend thinks I’m too messy to get a worm bin, so I think it will be a compost tumbler for me. I wish I could get some worms, though, especially since a compost tumbler is more complicated to make homemade. This means I’ll probably have to shell out a big chunk of cash to get one. Oh well. It will be worth it when I have lots of amazing soil to put on my garden net summer.

I did exactly this a couple months back with my three year old. It actually diverted the whole puppy discussion. I got her excited by reading some of the above mentioned books then I asked her if she wanted to get some worms. She loves to help feeding them.
