You already have the best composter, right in your garden!
This is a quick introduction to a series that will happen this summer – Vermicomposting! Composting with earthworms!!!! These organisms thrive in soil rich in matter for them to compost, and in turn, leave you with some amazing compost that will make your garden thrive. Those of you with really great soil might notice an abundance of them in your soil, and that’s a good thing! You might have even seen that amazing material at your local garden center – worm castings! Yep, worm poop, some of the best fertilizer in the world!
Later I’ll show you how to build your own worm tower, how to feed and take care of your earthworms, and how they can be used in even the smallest of spaces to help create wonderful compost for your gardens or containers.
But for now, some interesting facts about earthworms!

I had leaves on the patio that we didn’t get up before the snow hit…guess what? I had a ton of worms in them! When I was able to finally clean them up, I was picking up the worms by hand and depositing them (and the leaves) on the garden! I never turn a worm away if I can help it! IDK how big or small, if I can catch them by hand or on a leaf, they go straight into the garden.
Absolutely!
What a wonderful and informative piece! Thank you for sharing it. I have always been fascinated by these hard working little critters, but the thought of spotting a 6 foot long earthworm sends chills down my spine!!

What I happy day it is when I find worms in the garden. When we first moved to our current house (2 yrs ago) I did not see one worm in the soil turned for our garden beds (3 beds 66sq ft). Working on the garden this spring I have seen scads of them. Can’t wait to learn more.
