Worm Farm: 3 Weeks
I continue to like my Worm Factory. After 3 weeks, I have had no problems with it. Like everything else I do, I have been totally unscientific about it. On most days, I add a small amount of vegetable scraps or coffee grounds, but I don't measure it out. Every few days, I've been added damp shredded cardboard from cereal or K-cup boxes (tearing it up is therapeutic). When I use eggs, I grind them up in a paper towel, wet them, and stick them in to keep the soil loose. I've been surprised at how fast things are decomposing. I don't cut my scraps up into tiny pieces or freeze them either because I don't want to. I've had no pests and have decided that worms make the most interesting and low maintenance pets.
