Worms, worms, they're good for. . .

Some of our worms are starting to look really big, and there hasn't been any other huge exodus (if for no other reason than the fact that most of them were wiped out during the first one), they seem to be doing well now! They're eating, they're thriving, they're reproducing (I saw little tiny baby worms). This is good. Very good. And slightly more work than expected--according to the Heifer International guide, you have to aerate the newspaper, keep it moist, I'm not sure why we have to use newspaper but I'll look into it more in the future. The bottom is starting to look loamy, but I wish we could get rid of the fruit flies. All of the food is already buried under several layers of newspaper. Pictures to come later.
