Worms Eat My Garbage!

That's right. Worms eat my garbage.
The City of Austin has a wonderful program that encourages residents to utilize all types "recycling" and "waste reduction" with the goal of the city cutting 90% of its refuse. Which is really just a great excuse for my progressive tree hugging ass to get some pet worms.

So I decided to use worms because I live in a studio, and my 400 square feet of heaven does not include a yard. If you have a yard there are easier options. I'm going to try and keep the bins outside, away from the rain and sun so I can keep my worms happy. I had these large recycling containers that I no longer use since Austin has a pick up recycling program that Houston did not, so I drilled holes in two of them to create chambers. Has to do with harvesting the poo as fertilizer. I know, there are quite a few skipped details. Basically, I am giving myself a lot of space for garbage to be turned into poo fertilizer. 

If you look closely, you can see the little guys. I recommend everyone try composting. I feel very accomplished without doing much. Awesome.
