How To Grow Big, Fat Happy Worms And Beautiful Compost
Good Monday morning! It is beautiful weather here in South Central Kentucky. Highs today in the mid 60's with a chance of rain tomorrow and Friday. Today I want to talk about soil in the garden. Good soil is crucial to be productive. I have wet clay for my soil, so I have to really add compost. Compost piles can be handled in a trash can or bin . You can dig out a patch about 3 feet by 3 feet by 6 inches deep, gently mix a bucket of straw with a bucket of excavated soil in the pit. This is a good recipe to get the microbes in high gear. Mound remaining excavated soil over the pit to prevent smelling. Give that pit at least a month to cook before adding a few worms.
Garden worms can be obtained from a friend or a fishing and tackle supply shop. There is an extra satisfaction in releasing worms that were on death row as fish bait to a happy ideal life. Live long and prosper. Red Wigglers!
