Outdoor Composting Surprise!

Outdoor Composting Surprise!

For the last three Summers like many other gardeners I wanted compost for our garden.As Fall approached last year I added to the compost pile one last time. Then it was time to harvest the worm bin in the house, as I went through the castings I noticed some of the food was not totally broke down, I took the unfinished materials to the compost pile and forgot about it. The following Summer I caught the flu for four weeks, I never did much during this time as to be expected. Finally I started to feel better and thought of the devastation of our garden due to lack of care. To my surprise the garden didn’t suffer much casualties. As I turned the compost pile to my amazement I saw lots of squirmy worms, and cocoons, well this made my day. Now I’m prepping the now worm pile for the winter. There’s no joy in having the flu but In this case I’m not complaining.
