…but to worms, this is like a Thanksgiving Dinner. This is the compost bucket we keep in the kitchen for use later in composting beds. This is a mixture of coffee grounds and vegetable scraps and peelings. You can be as elaborate as you want to with worm composting (also called vermicomposting) or as simple. Again, most of what we do regarding composting is on the simple side.
Recently I dug up a small flower shrub that was pretty unimpressive and replaced it with a fig tree. We had been composting around the shrub for a few months before the planting so the soil was soft and rich (from worms). The worms I found were huge - at first glance they resembled the small snakes I had found recently. It has been a long time since I've seen worms that size (about 6 - 7 inches).
I've read some things lately about the use of coffee grounds in the yard - I'll do some research and report back.
