The first contribution to the wormery

Mainly vegetable matter is going into this wormery. I did (gently) look for the worms the other day since I wasn't convinced they were alive but it has only been 2 weeks since they were introduced into their new home. I read that it takes about 2 weeks for them to settle down so I didn't want to stir anything up.

We've been trying to keep it damp and it's now warm enough for them to feel comfortable. We haven't added anything to the original contribution though I was very happy to hear that they like egg shells. I do a lot of baking and I also have an egg for breakfast most days. I don't like putting too many egg shells in the main compost because I don't want to encourage any animals to feast on them.
