Sorry I didn't get back to you sooner, but spring is upon us......no, I don't use the droppings in my vermiposter, they go into the compost pile. I do a pretty fair amount of composting, (several batches cooking at on time I'm afraid I spoil my worms. All they get are spoiled uncooked fruits and veggies, coffee grinds egg shells. I have several sources for spoiled food. I don't give them any processed veggies, cooked table scraps, breads, pastries. Sometimes uncooked rice, or oats, or cereal no one will eat. I built a box 18 inches wide, 18 inches deep, and four feet long, I paid 35 bucks for a bucket of red wigglers 2 years ago, and now have "jillions" of worms. I harvest probably a 2 lb. coffee can of sifted castings out of 5 gallons of vermipost every few months. I love my worms. I thought maybe I could feed a few to my new found "Chicken Friends", but all the stuff (problems) people have with worms, mites, eye worms, respiratory ailments..I'm afraid to give my chicks anything but starter/grow. I'm 64 years old and I'm either real slow or these little buggers are way fast, but I've had them six weeks and haven't been able to look very close at one yet. They'll eat Mealwoms out of my hand but won't let me touch them. Here I Go rambling.....GARDENING. today I planted 6 tomatoe plants, six bell pepper plants, 6 anaheim green chile plants and 2 cucumbers.

The sun thawed them, at least I have some hopes, I'm planting in makeshift containers more veggies to replant after they germinate.
