Caution: Worms At Work

So, I picked up all the necessary componants to build our vermicompost box outlined in this article. Today I prepared all the boxes and drilled all the required holes. I located red worms at my local garden store and picked up 300 of the little guys. When my son got home from school he pitched in and helped with shredding and dampening the paper and then he did the honors of introducing the worms to their new home.
Meanwhile I divvied up some produce we had set aside for the guinea pigs and gave some to the worms, so we shall see how things go from here.
