What I learned : If you do things yourself, it saves a lot of money. If you use containers around the house, it saves a lot of money.
How I learned: through websites and YouTube. What I decided/answered questions: I'm in love Amazon Prime. My order of 200 Red Wiggler worms came in 2 days. We will use "worm tea" (that's the waste and water that drips into the larger container) to fertilize. We used storage containers rather than buying worm trays, which were priced between $100 - $250. Next steps: Take care of the worms: keep them moist, feed them, and keep them out of the hot sun. Reference Grow, L. (2012, April 20). Our First Worm Bin Great Project with Kids. Retrieved July 20, 2015. Andrea Jacobs 7/22/2015 08:13:24 I love the video documentation! Now I know how to set up a compost/worm habitat! And I love that your kids showed how to do it. Your son is really good at explaining already, future teacher?? Haha. Hope the worms make your yard beautiful! Sheila 8/7/2015 22:49:02 Andrea, my son, Zahi, is definitely a performer. I think he'd make an awesome teacher or actor or preacher or politician. The worm tea (yes, that sounds gross) is supposed to do wonders for the plants. Worm tea is made from the water that we pour through the compost. I'm glad I won't have to buy fertilizer and looking forward to great results. Thanks for your comments. Kelly 7/25/2015 09:04:23 Whoa there were a lot of worms in that package! Gotta love amazon! I too love how your family is helping out with this. Your son did an excellent job. I thought it was funny during the second video clip that he was filling the dirt in and said, "this could take a while.." What are your next steps with the box? Sheila 8/7/2015 22:52:19 Kelly, I do love Amazon. Amazon Prime was one of the best accidental purchases I made. The worm compost box stays in the back yard. We feed and water the worms regularly. The top lid has holes in it so the worms can breathe and keeps other critters out. Thanks for your comments.
