My walk at Daybreak this morning revealed our leaves are beginning to fall, and that my annual daily leaf clean up will be in full swing this next week. It started me thinking about what people do to leaves to take them in the house and use for Worm Bin Bedding, and eliminate or reduce bringing in insects and other of Mother Natures Hitch Hikers ? This may be a timely question to ask with the number of fellow Members that are New to this hobby. What is your total process ? Mow the leaves to chop them finer ? Have a dedicated chopper whether Electric/Gas or Drill Powered ? Are your leaves micro waved to kill bugs /insects (Yes, more people than I thought do this). Or do you just take a chance things will be OK ? Interested to hear other's thoughts and/or methods. This tree is the first to change and fall. Will most likely be bare on Wednesday !

Pictured is the newest addition to my wormery, Little Ben. It's made from a repurposed drop in wooden bedframe. All materials were already on hand so I only spent my time to make and design it. Inner dimensions are 62"L x 17"W x 16"D but it stands a little over 4 ft tall. It is on heavy duty caster wheels and unlike Big Ben which is mobile but only when loaded lightly, Little Ben is mobile at all times and can be moved when full of worms and bedding. It will house approximately 12-15k red wigglers at full capacity. 😁🪱💩😁
