Calling all Halloween Jack-O-Lantern and rotting pumpkin owners!
When you are tempted to toss your icky pumpkins into the trash can, don't! STOP and think about other options.
1. toss them into the corner of your backyard.
2. toss them into your compost pile.
3. toss them into your worm bin!!!
and if these options don't work for you, GIVE THEM TO THE WONDER WORMAN!!! (if you are local)
Pumpkins are 100% biodegradable. When added to your compost pile, you will have rich fertilizer for the spring! A huge bonus, if you have a worm bin, the worms will have a Halloween treat too! They love, love, love pumpkins! I can't stress that enough!
REDUCE THE AMOUNT OF USABLE WASTE THAT CLOGS OUR LANDFILLS!!!!

Yes! Red wigglers absolutely love pumpkin! I had one behind the shed since last fall. I smashed it open and saved the seeds and threw the rest in my worm bin. They devoured it so quickly I was shocked. Only thing is, be careful how much pumpkin you put into your worm bin for some reason I have found pumpkin to get extra hot when breaking down its better to smash it up and add a little at a time at least in summer in my Florida climate I have troubles with the bin getting too hot when adding high sugary fruits and veggies such as pumpkin and cantaloupe.
