I tried Vermiposting (composting with worms) once before but they died. Last month the kids were able to participate in a workshop for Earth Day where they were given a few worms. We brought them home, bought a bin, drilled holes etc. Each week I feed the worms and put in more bedding, making sure to sprinkle with a bit of water to keep it all moist.
I think they died again.
The worms we were given were small so they may just be eluding detection. The food is being eaten by something so who knows maybe I am just being weird. I think I may just bite the bullet and buy a pound of red wigglers from a local lady we sells them by the pound. I can just add them in. Even if the original worms did survive the new worms won't harm them and I can use more of my kitchen scraps for compost.
I like worms. They don't take much time at all. Once a week I give them some love (food scraps, newspaper bedding and sprinkles of water) and for the rest of it they remain to themselves.
I will keep trying. There must be something I am not doing right, or maybe just some worms I am not seeing.
