Stinkers

Yah, that's you! How is it that I can't even GIVE away a worm bin. I'll try again in a few months when enough of you come to the realization that you were sorely mistaken by not seizing the opportunity when you had it. Roar! In the meantime, I leave you with this picture of thimbleberry jam I found in the back of the freezer. This tiny 4oz jar represents an hour on the trail during the height of thimbleberry season - one of the many joys of living in Bellingham, WA. Sweet, crunchy, creamy summertime bliss. If you've never had a thimbleberry, I feel even more sorry for you than for not wanting to be a worm farmer.

!100th Post Giveaway!

To celebrate 100 posts here, I would like to offer a free gift to a random reader--Korean Mexican Italian style! Since my last post, our worms have seriously grown in number and consumed much of our kitchen waste. I'm so happy to reduce our contribution to landfills (organic materials can break down to liquid form, possibly picking up all kinds of toxic waste and leaching into water tables below) and turn waste--2 whole watermelon rinds, apple cores from 2 bags of apples, corn on the cob cobs, egg shells, coffee and tea, asparagus ends, banana peels, old lettuce and celery, etc. so far and it's only been a couple weeks-- into a nutrient dense compost. I want so much for everybody I know to try worm composting that I'd like to offer a free worm kit to somebody through this blog. If you're interested, please leave a comment in this post and I will randomly pick a winner by my next post. I'll buy the bin, put in ventilation holes, add bedding and a starter batch of red wriggler worms for you. All you'll have to do is pick up or pay for shipping your ready to use worm bin! If you live within Bellingham city limits and have curbside compost pick up, you can always enter for a friend who doesn't. Thanks for commenting and good luck!
