The worms are settled in and doing what they are supposed to do. It's cool to open up the bin, lift up the newspaper I have on top, and see all of them just worming around eating the veggies. My wife thinks I am a 5 yr old with my first worm farm!

If there are LOADS of them, I would try to shovel some of the dirt that they are in out and set it aside, then till as you need to, then put the dirt back in. You might lose some but they multiply and you will soon have them back. You certainly need them to help keep the soil broken up.

The worms arrived today! I had them delivered to my work as I did not want them to come to home in case no one was there to greet them. I mean who would want to let a box of worms sit unopened for much longer than they have been. They were packed up in a small bag with some peat soil and there...

Enjoy the day Hattie! I am glad I don 't live where winter hits strong. I live in Arizona where only parts of the state get the cold. I grew up however in Northern Utah so I am well aware of the frost and frost warning. Sounds like you have a nice place there.

Yes, one night my teenage daughter was having a party at our house and two of her friends decided they would take Sam for the evening. They left a ransom note. I proceeded to play along and eventually the next day he was returned. Worms have not arrived yet. They shipped Monday from Tucson...

well, I will see how it goes myself. I have to be a little adventuresome in my middle age. Why, some people have a middle age crisis and go out and buy some lavish car or Harley or something and what do I buy? A pound of red wrigglers!

Well, I ordered one pound of worms and I emailed them to ask how many worms were in a pound and they answered back 800-1000. So I will have quite a few to keep track of. I've decided not to name them all though, just have one name for all of them "Slimey" I am planning on composting only but...

I know what you mean, where I grew up in Northern Utah we would just go out at night when we were irrigating or after a rain and be able to find night crawlers all over, or you would dig a little in the garden and you would find your worms, but here in Arizona it's not quite like that. I...

I know it does sound kind of funny to be getting a worm delivery, but here in Arizona worms don't just happen to be worming around like they do in other parts of the country, so we have to have ours delivered. Kind of like the snowbirds that come to visit our state. Plus, with a place like they...

I'm getting my first red wiggler worm delivery tomorrow. Any helpful hints besides what I have read online about worm composting? Your feedback will be wormly welcomed!:rolleyes:

Oh and what a party that will be I am sure. It doesn't take long for them to demolish it does it!? Thanks for the remarks and the welcome.

Thanks Ron, maybe I will change it up to be...Sam's Green Egg's and Ham

Yes, Provo is a great place. My daughter will graduate after this semester and my son in law next summer. He will then be going to medical school. I hope it is somewhere close, maybe here in AZ at Midwestern University.

I absolutely love this picture. He is almost 6 months old and we can't wait to see him again. His mom and dad are both going to school at BYU in Provo UT.

I just planted a fall garden so right now I just have tomatoes, swiss chard (my chickens favorite), and some squash. I don't have alot of space to plant, I may figure out some container gardens. Thanks.

Well, here's the Gerber Baby: And here are some of my chickens: I will post some garden pictures when it gets going more.. Thanks!

You have another Arizona gardener joining you from Peoria!

Hello, just wanted to introduce myself as a new member to this forum. I live in sunny Arizona, I am a father of 5, a grandfather to the next "Gerber" baby, I enjoy gardening, raising chickens, and other hobbies including decorating fun theme cakes. I just recent started a garden in a new spot...
