Quick Compost Update

 After struggling to keep my "keep it outside" composting worm bin healthy and cool during the intense heat wave at the end of June and for much of July, I am pleased to say that the worms are alive and thriving!  Even in spite of the scary white-grey larva that transformed into scary black winged insects that continue to emerge on a daily basis.

My housemate and I think they are some sort of wasp.  Apparently, my compost has become a little biosphere of organisms: worms, fungus, insects, and the occasional germinating seed.

new growth out of food waste!
