I use my paper shredder to shred my newspaper and add it to the worm bin.  It works great and you can process a lot of paper in a short time into tiny bits with really minimal effort.  It is essentially free as the newspaper would have just gone into the recycling trash otherwise.  My worms basically get newspaper, food scraps, and the remains of cut flowers after they have started wilting.

I agree with Tami.  I keep mine indoors near the kitchen.  It doesn't smell and has never leaked.   It is handy to feed it by having it indoors.  I have the Worm Factory 360. 

Temps here go too low in the winter and too high in the summer and I definitely didn't want to leave it out spring and fall and bring it in during the summer and winter as it would bring other things in.

You should be able to grow them in the ground with no problem.  I grew them for the first time last year and had a good crop.  I am in zone 7 although a few years ago, it was considered 6b.  Great crop.  I highly recommend it.

Does anyone know how the taste of the Sochi tea compares to the regular tea that is less cold hardy?

Last year, Baker Creek plants were tissue culture according to their website.  Looks like they have changed the wording this year.  My brother bought the figs last year and got Kadota, Ischia, and Latterula.  He told me they were small and took a while to get going.  He also got the taro but they did not grow.  I bought the Katuk and it grew fine.
