Forty (yes, 40!) pounds of red wiggler compost worms arrived yesterday. It wasn’t exactly a smooth voyage for them, as the boxes they were shipped in partially disentegrated during transit. I got a call from the Post Office indicating that there had been an “incident” with my worms, and that I needed to go collect them from the distribution center. Two hours later I had all the worms safe and sound at their new home, but it certainly wasn’t how I had planned my lunch hour to go!
Over the next couple days I’ll get them set up for real, and start feeding them all the yummy food scraps from Outer Space Cafe here in South Burlington. For now, they’re hanging in a large kiddie pool, getting used to this drizzly Vermont weather!
