  1. @bensheldon all three groups of us are staying in Maine--two groups in fresh boxes and one lazy/small group finishing up old compost.
  2. we got divided up last week and are settling into new newspapery homes.
  3. eating apple cores. doubt we'll get a piece of the actual pie.
  4. eating moldy noodles and banana peels 'till bec is back from Hungary.
  5. @bensheldon I think the worms spoke in first person, like, once.
  6. but then tons of the biggest worms were all up the sides, and a big twisting knot in the bottom bin. maybe they need water.
  7. when I went to feed them some salad scraps tonight I was thinking, "well at least the worms are happy."
  8. mmm, chopped-up watermelon rinds. won't need to water the bin today.
  9. took some soil off the top for the basil today.
  10. "we're huuuungry. and cold."
  11. watered the worm bin with a hose. now that the bin is wetter, I think fewer worms are dropping down to the lower bin where water collects.
  12. what sound do worms make? a kind of damp shifting and settling sort of sound. "moo".
  13. the worms actually won't eat stuff 'till it starts to rot, so they won't be be eating the potatoes and soybeans for a few days yet.
  14. worms are eating old boiled potatoes and soybean mush left over from making milk.
  15. also, our potted basil is EXTREMELY happy with all that "worm tea" fertilizer
  16. worms got fatter even without being fed last week. and the beet tops sprouted.
  17. hoping the big worms aren't eating the baby worms.
  18. away for the week. hope the worms don't get lonely.
  19. today's meal: a teabag and a coffee filter full of grinds. caffeinated worms.
  20. so THAT's what the water at the bottom of the worm bin smells like. Coffee.
