Psstttt... I have worms!
I'm sorry guys... I don't believe I have told you about my super awesome WORM BIN yet!
Cool, right?!
I mean, yeah, it's also kind of gross, but mostly it's cool!
We started a vermicomposting tub recently. About a month ago. I told you how this is the year we grow our own food, right? Well, one of the things that would really make that more feasible is a sustainable fertilizer maker! AKA, the worm bin!
Not only will it be creating worm castings, (black GOLD!), it will also be a source of liquid fertilizer that we can use on our Steem-Powered raised beds! All we have to do is feed the worms some of our veggie scraps from the kitchen! It's a win-win situation!
My daughter, @SnekLady, and I made a video with a 3-week update on their progress and some tips on feeding the worms!
Check it out! Honestly, these worms are just amazing!
Thanks for stopping by! I hope you enjoyed seeing our WORM BIN! Do any of you Steemians have worm bins of your own?
Have a fabulous day! ♥

Your daughter is a brave little lady! :) I would probably never touch a worm voluntarily :D I've heard that this kind of vermicomposting can be done at home as well in a special container. So you don't really need to have a garden. Whatever they produce you can use for your plants.
It looks like you have quite a few of them. Those smoothies didn't look very delicious but I am sure that they loved it! :) And yeah, rather feed the worms than the ants, lol :D
Good luck to your daughter with her own channel! I love to see children cooking! And she is breaking bread, wow! I baked one today and burned the bottom of it :D
Have a lovely start of the week!

Thanks for checking it out!
Yes, she is brave, haha! She has a pet snake too, critters dont phase her much, well, except wasps. Those freak her out...
She loves cooking and baking and whatnot. :) I dont mind one bit. This morning she fixed pancakes from scratch for her and her brothers. Which left me with the free time to post this and some other stuff. :D
Vermicomposting seems to be getting more and more popular lately. You can have a worm bin anywhere, in the house, under the sink, the container can be small or large. The worms seem to be very versatile and adapt to a variety of conditions.
Have a fantastic week! ♥

A pet snake? Oh boy! :D
What a relaxed morning you had :) I would love to have someone at home who would be making pancakes for me :)
First, I was afraid that these worms would spread everywhere but then I heard that they simply stay where they have food so yes, you can have the container anywhere you want..
Have an amazing week yourself!

You will have amaazzzzzzzing soil with these squirmy little worm castings! They make such magical gold! You can make worm tea with the castings which is nice to water your house plants with too! Can't wait to see your summer garden @squishysquid :)

Thanks!!
Yes, I am super excited!
Our winter garden is going so well! Soon we will make some more gardening area and transform our greenhouse into a shade house, and I know we will have a fantastic summer, vegetable-wise!
I tried worm composting when I was a teenager, and the worms ended up just leaving! I probably didnt take good care of them... I was sort of afraid that would happen again, so Ive been apprehensive about the worms. They are doing so well though, reproducing, and definitely NOT running away, haha!
Thanks for stopping by!

Thanks for the kind comment!!
This worm bin is outside, but lots of people have them inside and they don't leave the bin. When I was a kid, the ones I had left, but the tub was ouside, sitting on the ground, with holes for drainage that they just crawled through to be free....
I also love seeing how people live all around the world! Steemit is a really cool place to bring us all together. ♥

You're both very brave to hold them in your hands.
I know they are harmless but I don't have the courage to do what you just did

Haha, I've played with worms, bugs, and snakes and things ever since I was a child,so for me it's not a big deal.
They can't harm you. :)
Lots of people are afraid to touch worms though...
Thanks for stopping by! Have a great day!
