Pets

Poupoune and Pepe are getting older so I bought Alison some new pets.
No seriously, these are the red wrigglers that sit in a bin and together form our worm composter. Some of our organic kitchen waste will go into this plastic bin and the worms will eat it and turn it into vermicompost, an expensive term for worm poop. Apparently that’s the best compost in the world and we’ll have it soon. I bought the kit this afternoon and the worms are definitely still upset from the jumpy ride through the city, in the metro and the bus. I tried no to shake them too much, but the bin was heavy…
Sorry worms, we’ll try to take good care of you. Give you enough food, a nice bedding and regularly play with you.
If you also want to have new pets, you can learn more about them and place an order here.

Just remember to keep the lid on tight. One morning I woke up to a long black trail down the hallway, after putting on my glasses I discovered that the some of the worms had espaced in the night and were now dried up along the hallway. Poor wormies. The compost you get from them is amazing, enjoy!
