I added a new species to our menagerie last week. In retrospect, it’s very clear that I just took another step towards micro-farming. My new dependants aren’t cute or cuddly, and unlike the chickens I hope to bring home one day, I have no plans to try clicker training with them. But I’m totally smitten.
Run out of guesses? I’m talking about a half pound of Red Wiggler worms. Their job is to eat as much of our food waste as they can; hopefully everything but meat and citrus fruit. Worm composting is an efficient way to keep your houseplants thriving and your food waste out of the landfill.
