Finally! Worms!

It's late May and, due to a postal mix-up, I just received my worm order today. They've just been introduced to the bin and are wriggling in quickly. :-)

When you first get your worms, think about the moisture in the package they were mailed in. This company sent the worms loose in a cardboard box, and boy, did it ever soak the moisture out of the worms' material! I added more water right away. Remember, they need water to breathe.

Most of the worm dealers send their worms in plastic containers or milk cartons, which keep them nice and moist.
