today spun composter a bunch. then dug a spot out and added
feed then lime on top of feed.

then placed some soil on top of feed.
then added 2-3 cups of worms from the worm bins.

covered the worms and watered everything in.
i will now leave it alone for a month or so.
in 2-3 months should be good to go.

* lime is used for 2 reasons 1 so feed does not sour.
2 worms have a gizzard they use the lime to grind there food.
