What’s new in the garden? Worms! Well, actually, MORE worms. Today, we are installing “worm composting towers” in our garden beds. We will drop our compost scraps down the pipe, and the worms will eat the scraps, crawl out to fertilize our gardens directly with their casings (the polite word for worm poop!), and then crawl back into the tube for more food. If you’d like more information, please watch this informational video that outlines the process of setting up a worm composting tower. We watched it and were inspired to try this technique!

If you were a compost worm, which tower would you want as your home base? I like the one with the jacuzzi… ;)

We did some harvesting too - check out our carrots and one big beet!
