This is our new compost container Matt made from salvaged fence panels Chelsey scouted in her neighborhood. I’m a low-maintenance/low-results composter; though I’m considering adding red wiggler worms for some assistance and entertainment. Mostly, I just don’t like throwing kitchen or garden scraps in the trash, so I bury them in shredded paper, shredded leaves, or this wheat straw that Chelsey and I picked up from a farmer in NE OKC.
I like to take a peek now and then and see what funky things are happening under the covers. I’ll be sure to share if anything interesting turns up.

Yay! Yours is a lot cuter than mine and looks more sturdy. But then mine is hidden behind my shed.
Hey Tricia
Your dad sent me the URL to your blog. We are old high school buds. Just learning about vermiculture. Using old cat liter plastic containers for my farm. They can be stacked and moved easily. Where would you suggest getting more worms, red wigglers.
thanks

Hi Marc!
I used to get my worms from the Worm Woman. I stopped doing vermicomposting because my worms kept dying and it got too pricey.
Here are two blog posts I did on the subject:
Worms Eat My Garbage
Feeding the Worms
You are a talented artist! The pumpkin house drawing you did for my dad has always been on his desk.
