Signs of Life

I saw a big fat juicy worm in the grass-clippings layer today. It was about ______________________ that long. At first I thought it was a brown piece of grass, but then I looked more closely and it was a worm heading farther into the grass. I was happy to see it.


The sweet potato is huge -- it's almost to the other side of the tank or habitat or whatever-you-call-it.

My dad made a real lid. (Before we just used plastic wrap.) But now we use a metal net-type thing with plastic wrap over that to keep the moisture in.


The kitchen waste we gave them is almost gone. I don't think they are eating it, I think it's just getting buried by what they are eating, like, well, I don't know, but the level of the dirt in there has gone down and you can just barely see the dry leaf layer.
