Haha!
Someone else recently emailed me to suggest that I start up a new “you know you are a worm head when” post for 2010. Sounds like a plan

…you visit Redwormcomposting.com multiple times per day.

…you tell your friends that no newspaper or cardboard boxes are safe in your house.

…you stet up your own neighborhood recycling center for cardboard boxes, old newspapers, vegetable scrapes, coffee grounds/filters, and tea bags.

… your friends think you are weird because you take home all the pizza boxes from the pizza party.

… your friends, instead of going to the recycling center, just give you all their cardboard boxes.

… your teacher wants you to write a report on any pet of your choice and tell how to take care of it, you write one about your worms.

You start a worm bin because you are too cheap to keep buying them, but once you get it going, you won’t let your fishing buddies anywhere near your babies.

hi,

i just found your website this evening. i enjoyed your stories. i just started vermicomposting last month, i guess it is going okay.

i am writing about your excess compost materials. i have a small orchard (about 70 trees). i have been placing an approximate 4-foot wide strip of straw along the rows (i get the straw from a farmer who i let plant corn in one of my fields). this straw acts as a mulch as well as keeping down the grass to give the tree roots a place they can grow with minimal competition.

anyway, the point of the story, is that i throw excess kitchen scraps into the rows and cover them with straw. that way the scraps still degrade, but the straw makes it asthetically acceptable to my wife.

hope this helps — i enjoyed your site,

stewart

just thought of another one…….when the thought of feeding some of your worms to your baby finches breaks your heart.

Man oh man – this is like the neverending thread! I love it!

“When you make RED WORM COMPOSTING your home page.”
Yeah!! Nice one Scott!

How about these:

…when you are buried in an avalanche of toilet paper rolls, egg cartons and brown paper bags every time you open a closet

…when you ask for boxes at the grocery store over plastic bags NOT because you are trying to be eco-friendly

…when you spend time day dreaming about the ultimate grinding machine that doubles as a worm harvester

…when you have one small tree and a few shrubs on your property yet you are still pricing chippers

…when you close your eyes and all you see are worms

…when quality time with your spouse involves watching movies while hand-shredding cardboard
