Prep Recap

Day 4:

 

Finally finished prepping for our wiggly visitors. Just to recap....

 

Step one: Worms! Backyard worms are not recommended. If you're going to buy online, try to buy locally and don't let your worms get loose!

 

Step two: A home. You can make a home out of rubber, wood, or plastic to name a few. Make sure you have a lid to keep light out and avoid it from drying out.

 

Step three: Ventilation. Drill lots of tiny holes in your container on the bottom and along the sides, you want the water to have a way to escape and not drowned your buddies.

 

Step four: Interior Decorating. Cut out strips of unbleached corrugated cardboard or shredded newspaper, straw, dry grass, or some similar material. Sprinkle a handful of dirt on top, and thoroughly moisten. Allow the water to soak in for at least a day before adding worms.

 

Step five: Names. Start thinking of lots of names for your new friends!
