The Worm Farm Project
Jr. started by getting a bin ready with some help from Mama
Step 1: Try to Find the Drill
Step 2: Take a break from locating the drill and rip up newspaper
Step 3: Ask Gramps where the drill is - Get the drill!
Step 4: Watch TV while Mama drills air circulation and drainage holes
Step 5: Rip more newspaper into shreds!!
Next prepare the bin with the bedding!
Step 1. Dampen the newspaper and mix it all up.
Step 2. Repeat
Step 3. Check the depth - rip more newspaper!
Step 4. Dampen the new batch of shredded newspaper!
Step 5. Make your bin ready: Bedding, food, etc!
Now go visit the Worm Farm (Arpeggio Farms) to pick up your worms! Talk to Mr. Lees all about the worms and your spring project. Make sure Mama & Daddy listen well so they learn what you already know (from your worm farm field trip last August!). When you get home put your new pets to your bin!
Finally take a look at your new Worm Farm!
Leave your new pets to settle in for the night. Don’t forget to check on them in the morning when you get up!

My, my, that first picture Jr sure looks like his Daddy!
Are you planning on putting your food scraps and stuff in there to compost? We have a compost pile but it’s slow, I have thought about getting worms.
