Wormy Acres of Vermont Red Wiggler Compost Worms

Wow, June was a busy month!  Steph and I were getting settled into our new house in Bolton, Vermont, planting gardens, and trying to  get a bit of worm care in at the same time.  We’re still in the process of building our permanent worm bins, but the worms have been taking it in stride and continuing to turn all the food waste from Outer Space Cafe into rich, fertile vermicompost.

Since we’re still ramping up our vermicomposting, we had to buy four trailer loads of Intervale compost for our gardens (not sure we’ll ever get big enough to sell compost by the cubic yard).  There’s an amazing difference in how fine and completely-decomposed vermicompost is when compared to traditional compost.  I’ll post some photos soon, or come check us out at the Burlington South End Farmers Market Wednesday afternoons!
