SunChips Go Compostable, Week 04

Yesterday was very warm: 86°. Today it is currently 74°, but it's supposed to be about 84°. However, it's very windy today. We are supposed to have wind gusts of up to forty miles per hour. It''s important to make sure your plants are getting a little extra water when it's windy because the wind can really dehydrate a plant.

As for my SunChips bag, apparently week four is the week you begin to wonder if anything is going to happen at all. There's no discernible difference in the bag from week to week other than the bag gets dirtier. Ah well. Hopefully in a few weeks there will be some real change going on.

One interesting note is that some of the worms from the barrel next to this one have traveled into this bin by one route or another. That's good because worms really help break things down more quickly.

The bad thing? I was bitten by a horsefly while I was out there! Seriously! I hate those things.
