And so it begins - our wormie adventure! I have been wanting to learn and teach about worms, and compost for a while now and was waiting until spring to start. I thought my kids and I would make a adventure out of going out to our farm and digging up a few worms from the field and starting there. No, no, no, I learned you can't just use any kind of worm. You see, I was visiting my sister in Grand Rapids who had just went to a composting workshop and she shared her knowledge with me. I then called our local bait shop and learned they don't carry the right kind of worms for composting - bummer! We then decided to contact the worm people from her workshop and luckily they were at the farm and we could go meet with them and get some worms! 1 freezing hour later, we had 2ish pounds of worms mixed in 2 5 gallon buckets full of yard waste to bring home. The worms made the journey back to my house in Pigeon!
