If we had no winter, the spring would not be so pleasant; if we did not sometimes taste of adversity, prosperity would not be so welcome. Anne Bradstreet

And if men come unto me I will show unto them their weakness. I give unto men weakness that they may be humble; and my grace is sufficient for all men that humble themselves before me; for if they humble themselves before me, and have faith in me, then will I make weak things become strong unto them. Ether 12:27

Yea, all things which come of the earth, in the season therof, are made for the benefit and the use of man, both to please the eye and to gladden the heart; Yea, for food and for raiment, for taste and for smell, to strengthen the body and to enliven the soul. And it pleaseth God that he hath given all these things unto man; for unto this end were they made to be used, with judgment, not to excess, neither by extortion. D&C 59:18-20

Tote #3 to red tub #6

I wanted to get another tub setup before the storm set in.  I got my pex pipe from Ace this morning and got my tub ready.

I filled with shred mix and some leaves.to the 12 inch from the top mark and then added water.  Next came the soil content fro..tote #3 to the 9 inch from the top mark.  I added a thick layer of food scraps comprised of some banana peels, some radish leaves, and some broccoli and cauliflower stalks.  I didn't have any egg.shells to add.  Then I added a lot of tea and coffee grounds I got from Marla from upstairs.  Most.of the tea bags I tore open to expose the tea and I didn't include any coffee filters.

I filling with soil content.  I noticed that food scraps were decomposing.  For example, I found a couple of large banana tops that were put in whole but they easily tore apart into smaller pieces.

I counted 15 worms very nice size.  Then when I finished putting the soil into the tub,.and it went to the 6" from the top mark. I saw 3 more when I sifted through the remaining mix at the bottom of the tote - so 18 worms total.

I put the plastic tent on and was done.  It sits between the two with the flat plastic covers.  It was snowing pretty good before I finished.
