Who'd a thought I'd have my hands willingly in some worm and horse poop this week. Last weekend, I took a vermicomposting workshop offered at Wasatch Gardens, which was actually really fun and insightful. I mainly went in hopes to figure out how to do a better job of maintaining a worm compost bin this time around and how to not eventually kill the worms! Last night, Michael and I made our worm bin and it all cost less than $15 (including worms). After we transferred the worms to their new home, Michael did the "worm dance," consisting of a robot-like dance and self-accompaniment of a song tentatively titled, "Worm Friends."
Today we picked up some horse manure compost (given away for free at some horse training place). Surprisingly, it didn't smell at all and we spread it all over our garden plot. We're hoping the horse manure will help revive our little plants after this plague of rain and lack of sun we've been getting the past week.

The worm dance sounds like big fun (I wonder if it's in the same category as my "Rock the Cat Box/Casbah" dance when I'm in a cleaning mood?). What are you and Michael growing in the garden?
