Worms, Glorious Worms!

Worms have found my compost bin. I am so excited! Check them out!

Squeamish? Really, all you can see here is arrows.

In addition to the worms, I can see some decomposition in my compost. It is happening much more quickly that my ground piles ever did, probably because I turn it more often and add new greens more often.

Speaking of ground piles, I made this simple chart awhile back for the pile at work since it was (theoretcially) a community pile. I could never figure out a good way to post it outside, so I never actually used it. My thought was laminated paper staple-gunned to a small wooden post, but I never actually did it. I am a private composter these days, but I wanted to share this chart in case it helps someone else.
