A to Z Challenge Theme Reveal

There is a great April blog challenge that has been going around since 2010. I have participated four years in a row on my personal blog but this will be the first year on A Poet's Kitchen.

At first I thought I would create recipes from A to Z and then as I geared up for spring and began gardening, I thought it would be gardening from A to Z. But, that just didn't quite feel right. Something was niggling at me and it finally hit me what I really wanted to blog about for the challenge.

Happy Red Worms Make Me a Happy Woman

My red worms the day they arrived.

A couple of weeks ago I started my red worm compost bin. Within twenty-four hours I was a little worried that maybe I had made a mistake in getting them because I wasn't sure if they were going to live and/or if I was doing something wrong that was making the whole thing smell.

I read that red worms can put off a smell when they are stressed and of course it has to be stressful traveling through the mail and getting dumped into a new bin.
