Red Wigglers & Earth Week

We had a really fun gathering today in which we talked about Earth Week and the things we can do to give Mother Nature a hand. Our activity involved Red Wigglers and their amazing ability to eat anything in its path. We talked about how the scraps of veg and fruit, along with newspaper give this wigglers an awesome environment to basically... poop. Their poop is really what we are after, it is rich in nutrients and helps us to grow wonderful plants and potted veggies.

We'll definitely be adding this to our strawberries this season!
