Feeling a bit non sequitur today? Yes I agree. You are right everybody here does know that so it is a bit like preaching to the choir. I just felt like I wanted to talk about the topic a bit. Maybe get some ideas on how to increase damp air flow into the muddy areas of the worm bin. Sorry for the yelling "MUST" was capitalized where I copied it from. I should have normalized it. I will also admit that the post was a bit more pedestrian than normal. I'll try to horsepower up the next one a bit. Heeya! THE END

Oh heck, I was just being that way so I could use that dialog from my favorite TV commercial.

Actually, some newbies will learn some new stuff from your post. I'm continually amazed that everyone does this stuff differently a little bit.

That's because you gotta be a little loopy to even be doing this anyway. People who spend as much time tending to worms tend to be....uh, independent. OK, not only independent, but individualists.

Yeah, that's it.....individualists.

I'd add a well-thought out response, but I need to go spend some "individual time" with my herd in the garage, as they need some additional aeration..... And it's just really cool to watch them squirm in and out of the pumpkin with the holes all over it. (My students hammered golf tees into the pumpkin, which encourages rot and creates a nice playground for the worms.) Love the holidays and all that they bring!

Hold your horses. It took me a bit but then I caught on. I'm glad I can still shoe a horse. ibcool. Plus I know you never mean any malice and are just one of the "guys just wanna have vermi fun".

Oh, and THE END was not yelling it was literally the "words CAN hurt you".

When worms give thanks I think it involves lots of words about horses.

merrygardener, your post reminds me of a popular children's song that as far as I know of has never been mentioned, or if so only twice, here. I bet there was nothing the students have enjoyed more than having a teacher who lets the hammer golf tees into pumpkins so that the worms can indeed * ---news flash--- I stop mid type and freeze. I don't dare type another letter. A small smile arrives on my face. I back away from the computer and slowly start to clap. I have met my better. I salute. (difficult to do while clapping)* "a well-thought out response" indeed. Agreed. Sometimes spring time has way better holidays. I'm just left sitting here. Who knew worms could be so fun?

individualist, I like it.

Sometimes I fear to need a shrink. I fear to have become a misanthrope.

Enjoying so much gathering poop (even if it's horses' poop), arranging poop in layers, wondering how to heat poop, mulching poop, raising the mulch slowly to observe the worms in the poop...

And imagining lousy excuses and boring lies to escape barbecues and parties just to take care of compost piles, worms, and winter garden...

Obviously one gets worried about one's mental health. So individualist is a nice word for one who feared to have become a misanthrope and a socially inadapted loner.

I've always been in awe of the way le French do things, so "heating poop" doesn't shock me all that much. In America, if caught heating poop, the perpetrator of poop warming will probably be placed under surveillance or at least chastised on Twitter to viral-ness.

Truth is, I don't even know anything about poop-heating.

Am I out of the loop? Closest thing I can think of.....Two Girls, One Cup.

MODERATION, Diversity, Patience (Not all THAT much diversity!)

You are not a misanthrope , you just got a bad case of "poop-brain ;) Things will get better in the spring. Just keep on wormin' and have fun!

Poop gathered in sufficient quantities will heat itself. Once you get to that point you will be thinkin about cooling it down.

Spring, 14 weeks and counting here.
