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!
