The Rogue loves me! He really loves me!
The present he teased me with arrived today – it is both green and green. I am now the proud owner of a worm composter!
Vermicompost is really quite cool. The worms will eat your basic kitchen compost (now I know where to dump Audrey II’s contents), leaves, cardboard, newspapers and even some junk mail! The worm casings are great for improving soil and fertilizing plants. Mix some casings with water and it is considered liquid gold.
Some might consider this an odd choice for a gift but I have been making googly eyes at one of these for quite some time. Being miserly, I could not justify the purchase, so the Rogue did it for me. He knows me so well.
I was going to make one but the Worm Factory will look so much nicer than what I would have come up with. Perhaps at a later date, if I decide I want to expand, I will make my own. But for now, I am good to go.
Except now I need worms. (With the long weekend coming up, we will wait and order some Monday. )
Stay tuned for more adventures of Psyche, Worm Wrangler!

Yay!!! Although, I dunno about the worms… that’s a major ICK factor for me. I’m quit content with the standard compost bins where you rotate your yard waste with your household waste – no worms or additives necessary; just old fashioned solar heat.
Where will your new composter reside?
Likely in the basement. It is too hot to have it outside – we would have cooked worms.
Worms are cool. They do not bite or invade my pantry so they can stay. Plus you know Navarre will love them, and now I can say he has pets.
The Toddler now can have all the worms he wants without digging up the garden like I did as a kid.
