Worm Wrangling

I remember years ago when we started a worm compost box by our garden. We mail ordered a box of red worms which had enough worms to get us started. When the box came in the mail my wife told her youngest son that his job would be to untie all the worms. I can still see the expression of wonder on his face followed by the look of disappointment when he realized the worms had untied them selves before he opened the box.
