Worms 'n dirt...





Well, worms and soil (dirt and soil is for a different post)... Do you already have a garden? Did you know that worms are one the best things to have in your garden? They eat organic material and process it fairly quickly into nutrients useable by plants. Why bother with the worms when you can just use compost right in the garden? Well, the compost must break down, the plants can not use your kitchen scraps in their scrap form. They must degrade into a form that the plants can utilize. Worms degrade the compost much more quickly.



This brings me to Vermicomposting. That link will take you an informative article on Treehugger.com that is all about how to best use worms in your garden. Essentially, you provide the worms easy access to your compost and they do all the work for you and not only do they love it, they do it for free!
