This proves there’s no need to spend $$$ to start a “wormery”. A good way to teach kids about it and they can watch the development closely. The worms won’t be thrilled but they’ll survive, I hope.

Funny you should ask this Patty. I was just looking at some of these today and deciding I really need to post some sort of update.The long and the short of it is that they were completely neglected – but it looks like there is (amazingly enough) still some activity in them.

Hahaha – that’s fantastic, Stephanie! Please keep me posted (and don’t forget to keep the lid open once the worms are in there)!

You’ve put a be in my bonnet. I have bought 1 gallon Ziploc bags and am going to attempt the 4 worm experiment. #Frankensteinlives haha

Hi Stephanie – I basically mean unscreened, dark, rich stuff (scientific term! haha). If I screened it, it would be nice vermicompost. But at this time of year having living material for indoor systems is more valuable for me than having vermicompost!
In case you (or others) are not aware, I wrote a report all about living material. You can access it here:

Very interesting idea; when you mention “coarse” vermicopost, do you mean it prematurely harvested? I have some in my bin that is a little over a month old. Could I use some of it as my living material if i remove the worms?

Thanks
