    What is a worm bin and a lasagna garden??? I sure feel dumb.

    layering rather than digging. Start with hay, add compost, add food garbage, etc. There's a book out about it, can't remember the name but should be easy to find as it's called Lasagna Gardening.

    Thank you. I think I know about worm bins. My grandmother "grew" worms in her basement in huge metal tubs. She put them in her flower gardens to keep the soil loose. It's been almost sixty years, but I can still remember that wonderful earthy odor in her basement!

    The bigger pieces will be great for crazy quilting, in corners or small spaces, also to use for crazy with cotton.

    I save those in my "small scrappy scraps" box. For tiny scrap quilts.

    I'd let them go and I save everything, but those are too small.

    too small for me to use BUT I give all those to my sister in law and somehow she sews them all togeter and makes beautiful blocks. She then sells them on e-bay. I think I am just going to start that and make a really scappy quilt.
