Well, this will be interesting. My daughter joined the "Apprentice
Gardeners" program (for third graders) at her school and has been having
fun
all year. The "lesson" this week is worm composting. She is now the proud
owner of a shoe box with 40 red wigglers and some damp shredded newspaper
and the complete instructions for their care and feeding. We'll see how it
goes.

Wish me luck explaining this one to my husband.

CherylHas your husband ever seen the worms & dirt snack that some kids think is so
cool? If he objects to the worms, make him that snack as a form of shock
therapy. Chocolate pudding, with oreo cookies (minus the cream) crumbled on
top, like dirt. Stick gummy worms into some holes in the pudding, as if
they're crawling out.

As far as the real worms, keep them cool. The warmest spot in the
refrigerator is good, or the coolest spot in your basement. I prefer the
refrigerator, though, since that usually means the top shelf, toward the
front. Every time he opens the fridge...hello worms.
