The Worms are on the March in February

Today I purchased 1 lb of Eisenia fetida or redworms. They should eat about 1/2 a pound of food scraps a day according to my research. I am hoping to have enough castings to supply all of my beds by spring. I bought them from non-other than the Acme Worm Farm
http://www.acmewormfarm.com/

Twenty five bucks shipping included.

They sell worm castings online at http://dirtworks.net/ for $23.99 for a five gallon container (shipping not included)

So if I can get my worms to produce castings to fill half of my worm bin I will have broke even on the first batch and single-handedly saved the environment at the same time.

I'm feeling like the greatest person alive right now.
