... and worms

My hubs is also obsessed with worms... is that weird?

We compost, I think I have talked about that before. We LOVE composting! If it were up to him, not a single scrap of organic material would go to waste--if you run in our circle, at some point you will hear about composting toilets... probably over dinner after Nico calls us from the bathroom to help him wipe... I hope you have a stomach of steel.

Anyway, my husband is always concerned about the health of our compost heap. He spends quite a bit of time digging around, assessing if there is enough heat, checking out whether there are worms or other signs of life.

Don't believe me? Look...


It is seriously something that comes up in conversation as we lay chatting at night before falling asleep:

"I haven't seen any worms in the compost. What does that mean?"

When he finds worms, he is happy, he thinks it means something very positive about the compost. He's probably right, it is just funny, is it not?




Look! It was obviously a good compost day!

Someone will sleep in peace.

jealous!! I really want a worm farm here (as we cannot have a traditional compost that I would also like), but haven't been able to get the worms, no one here has a clue what I am talking about.

Ha Ha! That is too funny! Well, at least your hubby cares about yard stuff. Some husbands have to be pushed out the door to mow the lawn!

We just started composting last week for the first time, so hopefully we'll have worms one day soon too; love seeing pics of your garden, even the worms! Now, I just need to figure out where to buy some organic and non-gmo seeds to get our garden started...
