Kerry’s Garden

After a little delay (cold temps I’m guessing) I rec’d the email informing me that the redworms I’ve ordered will arrive tomorrow. Since I had added some food to the bin last week it has had a week to begin breaking down and should be just right by the time they arrive.

I had to upgrade the aquarium heater on Wednesday as the smaller one just wasn’t making much of a difference in the bedding temp. I went with a 50 watt model and a taller jar. Now the soil is at about 72F a few inches from the jar which is about the best I am going to get in the winter. I did notice that the bedding against the jar had dried out when I checked the bin yesterday so that is something I will have to keep an eye on.

I’ve placed a covered 2 gallon bucket under the sink to receive any future worm food and have a garbage bag of shredded paper ready and waiting
