I was thinking that 'Nut-grass might personalize my garden.

Here's something very embarrassing. I have totally ignored my vermiculture since last summer. Things got in the way. I felt guilty, thinking how I'd starved the poor red wigglers to death in a bath of acidic vermipoop. But I opened the lid a couple of days ago to get out some finished compost for the tomato plants, and lo and behold....a few live worms! I gave them an apple core and some coffee grounds and a layer of shredded paper, and in 2 days, the box is thriving with wigglers again. I'm totally amazed!!!!
