Use waste products from your house to make fertilizer (and bait if you fish). Use vermiculture (farming with worms) to compost non-meat and non-dairy kitchen scraps. Reduce the amount of garbage sent to landfills.

Just received 1 lb of worms for $21.99 shipped. Put worms overnight in bin. This AM saw a worm on top of the lid. At the edges of the lid, I saw my first specks of Black Gold. The video is magnified (actual size of specks are size of grains of sand). These specks are now in my potted plant (Green onion herbs). : - )

Worms need Rock dust. They use it for their Gizzards (ie chickens have gizzards). Worms have no teeth, so the rocks in the gizzards help break down food particles. I made some rock dust from all sorts of Rocks in my garden--volcanic rocks, pebbles, egg shells, and cement and bricks. The powder is of different sizes, so the worms will get a variety of sizes to use as rocks.
Once you get your worms bedded down minimal care is required. They like to be left alone but I keep messing with them because, as my mom use to say: "I'm handsy." It's an inherited trait I got from my dad.

Peak Moment 87: In summer 2006 Judy Alexander embarked on an experiment to see how much food she could grow, and how many neighbors could benefit, from the garden around her house. Check out her homegrown rainwater collection and irrigation system - watering her 60+ edible crops. Meet the bees, the chickens and the worms. And catch her joy in producing so much food for so little effort.
