I've got worms!



Dabbling with vermiculture.  Starting off with a cardboard box and if all goes well I might try something else.  Popped some holes in the bottom and added a few inches of newspaper cut into strips.  Moistened the paper and added a little soil and a bunch of food scraps.  Pulled off some mulch from the garden to go worm hunting and found plenty.  I guess the ideal is to use red wigglers but I'm seeing how these guys perform given they were already here.

Spuds!



Dug a potato bed in a new spot farther away from the walnut tree.




Trenched for the base with red spuds grown in straw.
