Comments (5)I think maybe? you started with too small quantity of worms. You said $30 for them. So you purchesed 1 1b probably or maybe 2 1bs at the most. I think you should have bought 4 or 5 pounds for one of those big bins. They will mutliply in the right conditions but you have to only feed them as they will eat. I would add some new bedding and feed them zukinie squash and pumpkin or butternut squash and some corn meal. But only give them a 1/2 cup every three or four days for 1 1b. at first and make sure they eat it before giving more. I always start out with cardboard and compost and dried leaves crumbled up and soak the leaves and cardbaord before adding to the compost. If you can buy more worms that would be good so you can feed them more. It does take more than one try for some of us to get the hang of things. That is not too much water in the bedding and not too much food to soon. Do you have any books on worms like " Worms eat my Garbage". I bet that book would help you out alot. Check your local library, it is an old book still available though. Good luck and keep posting your questions. I wish you had more people respond to help out.

Comments (8)Excellent reminder, Erica! :-) I love Thanksgiving! Thanksgiving decorations are so hard to find, but I managed to get my hands on a few little fall things this weekend, and with the fall wreath and mini-pumpkins I left up after halloween, the place looks pretty good. This weekend I also redid the candle centerpiece in the middle of the dining room table - cleaned out all the halloween candles and marbles, and replaced them with clear and yellow marbles, a couple toffee colored candles, one white candle, and an adorable white pumpkin candle that I found at a craft show this weekend. I'm hoping to find a little more Thanksgiving stuff each year - Avon has a scarecrow garland on sale that I think I'll order at the end of this month for next year. :-) So my decorating is done, and finally the planning is done too. This is my first year of holidays with in-laws, which is difficult (I knew it would be), because MIL is very "needy" in terms of time spent with her son. I tried to get both his and my parents to come to our house, but his refused to move it from their house, so we will go over there for Thanksgiving day. I did *not* want to go to both houses in one day, so I asked my parents if they'd like to come over for dinner the Sat. night after Thanksgiving, and they've agreed, which is a relief. So I still get to make a big meal (I've always wanted to try cooking a turkey - this year will be my first year), just a couple days later. So I think we're all set - now if I could just find some cranberries... ;-)...See MoreIf you don't always do Thanksgiving, tell why
Comments (26)When our children were in the house, my wife would roast a turkey and fix side dishes such as mashed potaotes, punpkin pie and open cans of cranberry sauce. It was mostly a private family affair for the 5 of us and labor intensive for the wife. Occasionaly, we'd extend an invitation to one of the kid's friends they were dating if that person did not have relatives nearby. Out kids are all out of the house, we are retired, and now do the lazy thing. We found a little family resturant about 5 miles from our house that serves a Thanskgiving buffet for at $10 to $12 per person. For the past several years, we and the 2 boys have eaten there for under $50 including the tip and that's what we plan to do this year. Its not quite the same, but the food is good and it sure saves labor at home. The cost is equal or less than if we did the meal at home. This frees the wife to entertain at home or to out for a movie afterward. She gets to watch the parades on TV as well....See Morenancyofnc
