Worm Babies!

My worms are having babies!  I am so excited!

Three worm eggs - the future of my compost bin!
I dug into my compost bin today to "fluff up" the dense, compacted material at the bottom of the bin.  As I aerated the dark, black soil, I found several of these little, oval-shaped capsules.  Suspecting they might be worm eggs, I ran inside and watched Uncle Jim's youtube video about composting worms (see min 8:12).  According to Uncle Jim, who confirmed my suspicions, these little eggs can hold as many as 20 baby red worms!
