Have I said I hate DST?

I really do! If I didn't have to work so far away from home I would love it. But when you have to get up at 3:30 in the morning and go to bed at 9:00 at night it makes it really hard! It takes me back to being a child and having to go to bed when the sun was still shining and everyone was still outside playing! SO NOT FAIR!!! It seems like just yesterday that we moved our clocks back!!

Well, today will consist of removing worm castings (poop) from the breeder bed. Really looking forward to planting flower beds with this black gold. My funny hubby has been stewing all night on just how to accomplish this in an easier manner. Man were the wheels a turnin'! I think he has come up with a pretty good plan though. Oh, for those of you that don't know....my hubby raises red worms! It is actually very interesting to watch these little wiggly critters turn garbage into premium topsoil!!! We did a harvest a couple of weeks ago and pulled about 10lbs of worms out of the bed. We send these to a guy that pays us for them. We really need to learn to market them ourselves beings we could make over double what we are making now. We're still learning though! Here are a few pictures from a harvest we did a little over a month ago.
These are the harvest trays after they have been in the bed for a couple of weeks.
This is the hard part. Picking the worms out of the peat moss.
I just love it when the worms leave the harvesting tray and glob up in a big clump underneath the tray. Sure makes it a lot easier to pick them!!!
Okay, now that you've had your daily lesson on worm farming!! ENJOY your hour short Sunday!!!
