| Worms sound like a winner i guess.  Is there anything else i can throw on it to make it even more nutritious come spring time?

| Check out Composting Tips for some good info. I did some composting a few years back using my bagged grass clippings, shredded newspaper, and some dirt. Used about 1 days (not Sunday) worth of Newspaper, run through the paper shredder (make sure you have a good one or this takes FOREVER), per bag of clippings (standard push mower). Mixed them up with some regular dirt. I watered and turned it with a hard metal rake about once a week and it turned out great... used it for veggies, not pot, but it all grows the same! Good luck! | ||

| plain cardbord works really well with worms too. if you can, layer cardboard or newspaper with clippings or old plant matter, they really seem to like that. I am pretty sure caorboard glue is just a simple sugar so it is turned into a bacteria fest, which worms love
