I had a call from someone who read my blog a while ago; I’m sorry, I forgot to note her name.
Her child was using redworms for a school science experiment, and had finished the experiment up. They were looking for a good home for their redworms now. In particular, she was concerned about polluting the environment with her worms.
Though this is an issue in some environments, Colorado is not one of them. I counseled her to dump her worms in the compost bin. There, they’ll either thrive, if they get enough food and the conditions are damp enough, or die, and add their nitrogen to the compost.

I publish a monthly newsletter called ‘Boulder Worms’. Feel free to subscribe–I’ll never send you spam. I have made my previous newsletters available on this site. I cover a wide range of topics–excerpts of interviews, article commentary, tips and tricks I’ve discovered in my worm keeping–in my newsletter. Most of the content will be drawn from my blog, but often I’ll send the content to the newsletter list before I post to my blog. The content will just be more folksy, timely, and delivered right to your email.
I also switched my hostname from vermicomposting.wordpress.com to bouldervermicomposting.com. The content will remain the same, but the name more accurately reflects what I’m trying to achieve. I really do want to create a place where people from Colorado can find answers to their vermicomposting questions. That doesn’t mean that I won’t post the occasional article about earthworms in Minnesota, but I do want to be a local resource.
