Pictures

Got the camera out and took some pictures, now that we're into the fourth week of feeding.

Here's the wormery with the lid and the top layers of paper off:

The worms you can see on the top were in the top layers of paper.  The next layer is ripped up cardboard (from the base of a box of wine - gives the same effect as eggboxes).  To the left you can see my old wormery, which is now growing peas!  They had germinated after being thrown away...

To the right is the lid of the wormery and the papers that were removed.

Here's how it looks with the cardboard removed:

You can see the remains of each week's waste, with this week's in the bottom left corner.  Top left was week 1, and the lettuce and carrot stumps are growing in the compost, rather than being broken down and eaten.  Top right was week 2 and the bananas are all but gone, a few bits of skin that were attached still remain.

Bottom right was week 3, and the teabags and bigger bits of carrot are clearly visible.  Of course all of this week's waste is still there, although there is plenty of mould growing on it already.

Now, here are some (slightly fuzzy, admittedly) pictures of worm eggs...

This one was on the top layers of paper...

This one at the top of the wormery, between week1 & 2 waste...  This one looks more developed, and I can see at least two baby worms in it...

This one is in amongst week 3's waste, and looks fairly new.

I'm really happy with the way it's going so far - hopefully it will continue this way through the winter!
