I do caution you about keepig them in the basement. they aren't happy if they aren't fairly warm so if your basement like many in the northern tier of the US doesn't get much above 65 degrees year round you may want to choose a place where your worms will be closer to 70-75*. Or ,keep the basement door open during the warmer months so the worms get warmer.Karen https://www.blogger.com/profile/13666181316076290984noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8488599.post-68829344200662138142009-03-17T10:00:00.000-04:002009-03-17T10:00:00.000-04:00Carol's Worm Ranch...it has a certain ring to it. ...Carol's Worm Ranch...it has a certain ring to it.

Love those labels. I use mini-blinds that I cut on an angle. I write on them with a sharpie and put them in the soil. If the soil covers the writing, it will last a long time, but since most veggies are annuals, it doesn't matter as much. I can't wait to see how your tomatoes and other veggies do.~~DeeAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8488599.post-80278119414397338762009-03-16T20:05:00.000-04:002009-03-16T20:05:00.000-04:00Wow, 74, That is so nice.
