wigglers

Took a look at my worms again, when I fed them. I'm giving them less food that I did at first- skipping some of the days the little bucket fills up and stashing that in the freezer for later. Until there are more worms. Which there might be, because I noticed this time that many of them have a thickened collar near the head end, which I believe means they are maturing.

Other notes- the worms seem to be more evenly distributed, I find them easily crawling in all parts of the bin. The material is still loose enough, not too packed and crumbly, seems to be breaking down faster. Feels a bit like dirt at the bottom, although there is still a lot of newspaper bedding in there. But things are definitely progressing!
