I envy your basement too Pat… would never happen here beneath my 1790 house… mostly crawl space… a realm I am petrified to enter. I envy too your crop of worms so busy working for your soil. Thanks again for the Blotanical tip!
Forgot to say great post. Looking forward to reading the next one!

Frances – No one deserves several Blotanical awards than you do! I put my castings right out into the garden yesterday, a section that was in special need of attention. And then we got rain. Perfect.
Catherine – my grandsons helped set up the original bin and always feed the worms when they visit. I highly recommend Worms Eat My Garbage by Apelhof as a manual for full information.
Meredith – thanks for visiting and Congratulations again! Locally the Waste Management office works with schools to set up classroom worm bins. A great science lesson, as your son knows.

Thank you for visiting my blog today — I’m so glad you did, because it led me right back to your blog, which greeted me with WORMS! I smiled immediately. My son did an exhibit on worm composting at school, and we look forward to setting bins up at home one day (right now we just have traditional method). Great post, and great blog! And thank you for your kind words back on my blog — you made me smile then, too! Please visit anytime!

I’m thinking of trying a worm bin sometime, I think my girls would love helping me with them. I know the garden loves their manure

Hi Pat, you are too sweet to mention the voting going on at Blotanical, thanks for that and the link love too. I had to laugh at people not knowing what castings were, but we all know the meaning of manure. Maybe gardeners know it a little differently than most though. I envy your basement with that constant temperture. We tried the worm bin in the garage but it was too cold in the winter and the house is too warm. I’ll bet those castings are worth their weight in gold to the garden though. My favorite nursery sells it in bags, A little pricey but wonderful stuff.
