I have not really wanted to go out there recently. We cleaned up most
of the debris but it's still pretty darned ugly. Sheesh. The only way
to get it not-ugly is to get out there and get to work.

hatch new worms.

you should see worms in there.


Gonna go check.


* if not, replace the worm bedding and
get some new worms from a leaf pile.
