Vermicast: Second Harvest

The finished product, ready for use.


Harvested the second batch of vermicast this afternoon: moist, dark, and rich. This time, for whatever reason, there thankfully were not as many worms present in the tray as the last time--a good thing--though I left the lid uncovered and exposed to sunlight for a few hours, allowing any worms still lingering in the tray to wend their way downwards to what will be the working trays.

The harvest will be split amongst some gardener friends in the English Department, as well as donated to the Academy Garden growing behind Griffiths, a sustainability project spearheaded by my friend, E. I'm quite excited at the prospect of helping fertilize the lush basil, sunflowers, and taro that are currently growing there.
