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

Tub # 2

I worked on tub #2 today.  I took the contents from the tunnel tote #2.

As with the first tub, I put a layer of leaves and shred mix in the bottom. I used a 5 gallon bucket and it nearly filled the bucket without pushing it down.  I watered well and then added the first layer of food scraps which included some grapes and baby spinach.  I added quick oats and coffee grounds.






I added another bucket of leaves mix and the same foods.







Next came the contents of the tote.  I counted the worms as I did the transfer - 12 worms in the tote.  I put quite a bit in before I remembered to put the last food scraps plus some egg shells.






I finished transferring the tote contents and it didn't fill the tub.






I took some of the remaining soil from Tub #1 that I had in the 5 gallon bucket.  In the process I found 3 worms and added them to the tub, bringing the total worms to 15 for this tub.  I'll buy another carton of worms and put all of them into the tub.  I want to have 40-50 worms in each tub
  I then put the plastic tent on.
