REV'S TIP
Always remember that tons of air is always good when composting. That's
why I add a lot of perlite to my worm food, and to my soil mix; when I make compost piles outside I
always skillfully use enough twigs to keep the air flowing. Microlife (and minilife) are the decom-
posers, and they need air. More air equals more microlife, and that, my friends, results in supernatur-
al growing!
Home Earthworm Farms
Now you don't
have
to have any of these cool little earthworm farms, but boy, are they ever awesome!
I have one, and I love it. I have had mine for about 2 years now, and in that time I have learned quite a
few things about them. First of all, you'll learn about all-natural nutrient sources, such as potato skins and
cantaloupe, and what using them can bring to your resulting earthworm castings. At first I just followed
the directions that came with the earthworm farm, and then I tweaked a few things out along the way. To
help you out with your first farm, let me give you my custom TLO earthworm food additions below.
