I was so impressed when I saw your compost under your sink. I really want to give it a try it again! I'm not sure where I can get the worms, though... Tsh´s last blog post..Where Simplicity & Frugality Intersect

thanks Andrea & Rachel for that info - we'll have to add it to our spring to-do list! Got the garden tilled up last night, so that was super exciting! jodi @ bpr´s last blog post..

Loida, you can set up a regular compost bin in your backyard. Look at this article about composting at Simple Mom. Adding worms speeds up the process and saves you the trouble of having to turn over the compost, but they're not necessary in a backyard compost bin.

Believe it or not, I actually got used to them and I don’t think they’re so gross anymore!

Thanks Andrea! For cold nights Jodi, you could wrap some insulation around it. Larger bins (such as barrel or bathtub size) can be kept outside in the shade and insulate themselves to changes in temperature.

Kimberlee, two or three worms did crawl out of the bin in the beginning, but that was all. For the rest of the year, they all stayed in there, so I wouldn’t worry too much.
