That's better.

I did, finally, get the worm farm constructed, mostly.  I still need to cut an airhole in the lid.  For now I may just go without a lid.  Hmm... I wonder if that billhooked utility knife would work?  If so, I may be done with that.  I simply don't want to find, set up, then take down, a heavier saw, like the reciprocating saw.  I really need to get a jigsaw for little jobs.  It's... yeah... on the list.

I also found scraps to chop for worm food, the last of three heads of romaine.  I also added a bit of gardening lime and eggshell, plus some water, straight out.  As to worms?  I must admit, there are more in there than I thought.  They simply don't clump, like red wrigglers.  There is no place without worms.

I didn't add more "dirt".  It does look like they do more than simply tunnel through the shredded paper, they seem to be eating that just as if it was any other food.  All good.  I mixed what was in the buckets in with the dirt, then added what I had left of shredded paper.  I seem to be doing well with it.  Though, when it starts to warm, I am probably taking them on down to the basement.  I would like to figure out how much to feed them, and then do that about every third day.  If grass trimmings work for them, I will use that as well.

Experiments abound.  I ended up spending more money than I thought though.  Ugh...  I am going to have to start being more careful.  I do want the riding lawnmower though.  I think I can.  But after that I believe I will take a month or two off from spending.  Saving up for this fall, for a snowblower attachment, then near Thanksgiving, for a new refrigerator and/or dishwasher and microwave in a group buy again?  Something.  Then I have to begin saving for a trip in the spring.  It's never just gas, who knows what the cost will be, and it is always more than all indications suggest.  Always.

I also got the last load of laundry.  There are a few wool socks, lost halves of pairs, but not enough for a load.  It was just whites, cottons, dish towels mostly.  I might be able to finish laundry and regular dishes yet tonight, cut out airholes in the worm bin, then be ready for a shower and work on the asparagus and alt-berry beds tomorrow.  Yeah, maybe.  I just hope there is a little more sun.  Just not full blast!  Ugh.

Good night, or later.
