The Wormguy
Thursday July 16th 2009
Good morning America. The weather started out nice today, up here in Maine, the way life should be. But its suppose to rain later on and about one inch more rain Saturday. The gardens are pretty much under water and my peppers are a complete disaster. Im going to replace them with some more tomatoes
I think I deleted some of my blogs today. I was trying to put them all under one category and some how they got deleted.
Well back to worms. The burrowing that worms do serves more than one purpose. I dont know if the worms realize it or not but as they are burrowing, they are cleaning the waste and leaving behind valuable castings, which is clean nutrient soil. The small burrows they create allow the soil to aerate and make it possible so the ground can store water after rainfalls or spraying. This process creates fresh soil for new plants and vegetables.
We dont usally see the worms as they prefer to stay just below the surface in your bin or in the earth.But if it gets to hot or cold they will dig deeper in search of more suitable temperatures. Red Worms will find oxygen in air pockets under the surface. If they get to much water in these air pockets they will come to the surface in order to catch a breath.
Ill sign off for now. If you have any questions or concerns please feel free to contact me at this blog or for more information on worms and worm related products visit my website at www.berwickwormfarm.com
