Vermicomposting!

Vermiculture makes composting so much more fun! Having decided to recycle more often, I thought I would try my hand at composting. After a bit of digging around for compost bins, I found that you can also compost using worms! I thought it might be a little boring just waiting for stuff to decompose, but feeding worms and having them contribute to the compost seems much more interesting. It's too bad I can't simply use worms in my backyard. Found some worms online and once I get a bin, I'm set. Anyone else partake in vermicomposting?

I introduced worm composting to my first and second-grade class when I was teaching (we were doing a yearlong study of farms & agriculture). It was oddly fun, I agree. It's easy to do. We just bought our worms at the local bait shop. I think they were $2.
I have one friend who keeps her worms under her sink in a plastic shoebox - they can handle one person's kitchen scraps pretty well.

Uh oh. If you chop a worm in half, will it really become two worms?
