Our new worm farm/composter (thanks Mom!)



It's got several layers, which the worms move up, starting with a coconut coir bed and working their way through organic matter (which you put in, covered by wet newspaper), until they're at the top. Then you pull out the bottom layer, spread it over your crops/potted plants, and move it to the top. Meanwhile, it's got a reservoir at the bottom to catch any liquid and a tap to dispense it as compost 'tea'. Yay!
