]]> In spite of my uncertainty, all seems well in the worm bin. When I lift the shredded paper to see if the food I’ve previously put in is being transformed, I am seeing a little bit of food, quite a few wriggly worms and lots of worm castings. Yeah! I can’t wait to add a new tray, but patience is important.

]]> Common frog, Rana temporaria

I was concerned about geckos getting into my worm composter, but that hasn’t been a problem. However there are frogs in my worm bin! They are very small and cute, not to mention quick and jumpy.  I saw one yesterday and thought it jumped in while I was feeding the worms and I thought it jumped back out before I covered the bin. Today when I opened it up, a frog jumped out and I was able to catch it and put it in the back yard. When I returned to the compost bin and lifted shredded paper from another corner, out jumps another frog of similar size. I never located it after it jumped. I lifted more paper and didn’t see any others, so we’ll see what happens the next time I’m in there. It’s hard to figure out how they would get in the Worm Factory design, except for when it’s open and that is possible, but it is hardly ever open, so I’m not really sure. I will let you know if there are any more frog issues in the future.
