Redding Real Estate Market Update 8/12/2008

Mindy and Clint,

After a recent trip visiting my son in San Francisco, I thought worm composting was a unique idea.  I did a little research on the Internet and found out I did not want to pay $100.00 for a worm compost bin, special bedding, and 25.00 for red wiggler worms.

Thanks to the Internet I found a great resource to build an economical worm compost bin.  See my blog at BertSellsToledoHomes.com Click Here.  Red wiggler worms?  Are they the worms I can buy at a local bait shop?  I called the bait shops to get red worms.  I asked if they are the same as red wiggler worms.   They don't know if they are the same, and because it's not fishing season yet  they are not in stock.  So I wait and I call.  Then there is  an editorial in the newspaper from Kathy in Perrysburg Ohio who has been worm composting for 10 years.  I write her a letter, and much to my surprise she emails me back.  As she mentioned she would like "to give back to the environment" and give me some red wiggler worms to start.  This past Saturday I met Kathy for coffee, and she gave me some worms.

I now have my 2 worm compost bins in the basement, and my worms have been given their first meal.

I would appreciate any helpful hints?

Bert
