Worms!

Five months of mourning for the composting of yesteryear are now done; I can finally move on with my life:

Today we took delivery of our new ostensibly apartment-friendly indoor compost system from Basura Responsable; a fabric bin with a worm 'nucleus' that will devour our food scraps and turn it into soil in a mere few months, without unsavoury odours that attract pests.

I bought the biggest size, because I feel like it's gonna fill up faster than the worms can eat; there don't seem like many worms!

(They also arrived with some cockroach friends; luckily I noticed them scuttling out of site when I opened the lid, so we took the worms out one by one and threw out the soil they came with, which had at least three cockroaches and who knows how many eggs.)

My wife seems unconvinced by the number of worms, and is already shopping on Mercado Libre for more. On the other hand, after a couple of hours she was also dubious about the odour-freedom, but I negotiated a week stay-of-execution.

Eat, little worms! Eat!
