Last Worm Feeding of 2024 - Christmas Feast for the Worms!

Was this the best idea? We'll find out, but I wanted to see how far we could push our bin before having issues. It doesn't seem likely that we'll have an issue with the bin being to wet like we did in FL, so maybe bugs might be an issue? Worst case scenario we get some of the spiders from 5 feet away in the basement and just put them on bug duty- they can have their own feast too this holiday season!

We'll check back in on the worms and see how they do in January. In the meantime, wishing everyone a lovely holiday season, from our Wormington community to yours!!

💡 I now have my own collection of Garden and House Flags and Outdoor UV/Water Resistant Pillows designed by me!

The official Earth Box store has a lot of color combinations, so it's worth going direct. I would suggest getting the casters, totally worth it and SO helpful. Also where you can get the automatic watering system made officially for their system. *
