I can't wait to get worms!

I just finished this quick read and can't wait to get worms! I inherited a Can-O-Worms and wasn't sure what to do with it. I've been gardening organically for a bit and am looking forward to adding worm castings to my arsenal of good gardening practices. Thanks Henry, for such great information regarding starting a worm bin.
