What Do You Know About WormsA few years back I had the opportunity to take my kids to a demostration that showed us the value of worms!
To be honest I wasn’t sure why anyone would ever want to keep a bin of worms.
Thankfully by the end of the class I was very intrigued and I have secretly wanted a bin of worms for myself!
I’m thinking about getting a worm bin from Uncle Jim’s. I think it is a wonderful science project to share with kids!
Maybe you are in the same position I was in and you ca’t imagine what good a bin of worms could ever be.
Here are a few of the benefits of worms:
Composting cuts down on the amount of garbage you throw away.
They attract birds to your yard.
They help your gardens grow.
They eliminate chemical fertilizers.
Worms enrich your soil.
Have you ever kept a wormery?
If you have, I’d love to hear about your experiences both good and bad!

Technically, its called vermicomposting! I have a large worm bin but I’m planning to downsize to several smaller bins because its much easier to take care of! My advice: 1. invest in a good pair of rubber gloves! 2. recycle your newspapers into the worm bin!
Seriously, its really easy to care for, isn’t stinky if you care for it properly and is a great way to reduce yucky trash and feed your garden!
I read a book called ‘Worms Eat My Garbage’ and it was extremely helpful!
