For the Earth Day, Greener People posting contest, I won a prize (thanks Zach), which turned out to be the worm composting kit from Urban Worm Girl. I have to say that I'm very happy with it so far. First I received a nice booklet will lots of great information about the worms and composting. About a week later, the worm bins arrived with instructions for setup. The setup was super simple. Then 2 days later the box of live worms arrived. I've had them now for about two weeks and so far the worms have been seriously chowing down on the kitchen waste I've put in their for them. There is almost no smell and what smell there is I find nice, like a greenhouse, very organic. According to the booklet, I should have some really nice compost in about 2-6 more weeks. I'll keep posting as it goes. But I have to say that so far this is a great gift idea and the Urban Worm Girl did an awesome job.
