Worm Porn

I dug into the compost pile yeterday and lifted out a writhing red wiggler worm orgy (Eisenia fetida). The warm sun on the side of my compost barrel had them in a frenzy. I was embarrassed, saying, oh, pardon me, and almost placed them back in the black to finish their business, making new worms. But decided, oh, what the heck? they’ll rediscover each other again, and forked them over to the other bin. Perhaps I should start taking my camera to the garden to capture some green porn to share with you.
