Here we are, first day of spring 2009. Winter has been long and hard. Snow hit very heavy just before Christmas and I wasn't quite ready.
Things look bleak for the worms, but if there is one thing I have learned is that it always looks worse than it is. But only a few days will tell.
I will be out there watering every day to bring the bin back into moisture range for the warmer weather.
I turned the bin and the bedding was pretty dry. Most of the worms were congregated in the corners and along the edges of the bin.
I have added food waste and fresh bedding and will water on a regular basis and watch closely.
The bedding material, which has been under a heavy layer of snow until recently (days) is the perfect moisture level and there are worms working away deep in the pile. Always good to see critters in the bedding, especially worms. That's a pretty good indication the bedding is habitable, don't you think.
I'll keep you all posted as things progress. I know a lot of you are looking for worms. I won't be harvesting for a while and when I do I have a few orders that were placed to get my old pricing as the website will be getting an overhaul and new pricing will be going into effect.
I'm excited for the 2009 season. I have some special videos planned, the first one being on brewing compost (worm compost) tea. This is to follow up on my latest newsletter.
For now, that's it. We will talk soon.
