Holiday worms?
This article, from Boulder Organic, mentions giving worms for the holidays:
Downing says ellie’s also carries worm-composting bins that are about 14 inches square and two feet high. They range from $75 to $85.
The worms must be purchased separately, she says, but you can complement the gift with a copy of the book Worms Eat My Garbage by Mary Appelhof for $12.95.
This seems like an alright idea, but for maximum success of a worm bin, I feel it’d be better to wait until spring to give this gift. Then it’s more likely to have a happy place in a ‘in-between space’ like a garage or a basement. Also, one won’t be as tempted to overfeed it, since there’ll be a compost pile for organic waste (or at least, the weather will be better for creating one).
What do you think?
