Vermicomposting

I walked home from work to find a USPS Medium Flat Rate box on my steps labeled "Perishable Live Worms." I was so excited!

Me and two of my friends drilled holes in plastic bins, shredded paper, and scored some sawdust from a local wood-shop. With the help of Barb Finnin's apartment composting tutorials, we successfully made homes for our travel-weary worms. Now, we feed them each time we have extra kitchen scraps - broccoli stumps, toast, fruit peels, all the yummy leftovers (minus animal products) - and they turn it into high quality compost.

Say hello to the little red wrigglers:
