Brilliant!

I think my daughter might still have a few barbie dolls somewhere… 😉
I received a email from someone worried about the idea of carrying the worms around so I do want to emphasize that was 100% a joke – at least as a keychain! The tiny size will make more typical transportation a breeze (and will give me a lot more options in terms of where the bin can sit).

This is wonderful. And here I was thinking my plastic coffee can set-up was small. Now even Barbie can enjoy vermicomposting, no excuse from the Malibu Mansion. I wonder if the worms will enjoy traveling…? Maybe take them dancing, haha. Have fun! ??

Not sure I share the prediction about them just shrinking more and more and then dying. I will use this like a normal bin – just on a smaller scale. So the time until it is ready for overhaul/harvesting may be relatively short compared to a more typical bin. It isn’t meant to be practical – lol – more as an interesting study of vermicomposting on a tiny scale. Should be interesting!

On the Minus side, when the worms reach sexual maturity, they will already have outgrown the size of their bin. In general: ‘Worms expand to fill the space allotted’, then they get smaller and smaller and then they die. Maybe just use it as a breeding bin.

Glad to help you feel better – hope you can live vicariously through my crazy shenanigans for the next while until you are back in action with more wiggly friends.

It’s unfortunate that many have this “all or nothing” attitude about environmental actions. Eventually even the tiniest snowflake can lead to an avalanche, right? Very glad I helped you on your journey down this path.

That helped me see the reality that even the tiniest effort to put our kitchen scraps to a “better” use is a positive. Unlikely that you remember that first-ish interaction of ours, but I (obviously!) still remember it to this day and, if I’m honest, that exchange helped me see how useful it is to hold gentleness and baby steps as a value for myself and others. So… A long overdue THANK YOU! <3

You likely wouldn’t be the first person to “worry” about me – or the last! I think I worry about myself even MORE – ha! 😉
I actually love my little measuring tape – use it quite a bit – but it has had a permanent home outside of the box for quite some time now. Haven’t really done much with the mini screw drivers yet but I’m not too worried about them getting displaced. 😉

KATE – Go for it! You can tie me for the world record! Haha 😉

ANDY – your comment ‘wormed’ my heart in more ways than one. 😉 It is amazing how good it feels to share vermicomposting with others, and get them excited about it!
