Beauty Around the Farm

Took a break to enjoy some beauty around our farm... I love taking time out to "smell the flowers," so to speak:). 

Worm Bucket

Finally got fed up paying retail prices for worms... Yes... WORMS!

So... I decided to make my own small worm farm using compost our animals loving poop out daily. We let it "bake"until it is ready and it makes the MOST wonderful potting soil, etc...

Decided to use it for my little vermiculture experiment this time, however:). 

I bought one container of worms and let them wiggle their way down through the rich soil. I also dug up a few and added them to the bucket. I will let them do their thing for 60 days or so, adding things they will eat from time to time, and see what we have at the end of the 60 day period. 

I threw some cut boards over the top to keep interested animals out of my experiment. Plus, it adds some darkness to their new home. 

Keepin' it interesting:).......... Love farm life!
