Microscopic worms: not immune to the lure of (literal) junk food. #wormsky #nemasky

A very overexposed picture of two reddish worm things on the underside of a lily pad

Same worms, darker photo, one's a little longer n fatter but they're both under a lily pad against acrylic (it's an old sea monkey thing)

Another one, kinda blending in with the lily pad stem as its paler face looks around for food

Half wine barrels loaded into our car. We fit 6 😅

Does wine barrel make for a good vermicompost bin? 🤔🤨🧐

Eh, I’ll try it anyway! The wine 🍷 aroma is delicious, but a tad overpowering!
